A BURNSVILLE-BASED COMPANY IS PROPOSING A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE FOR AN
ICE-MAKING PLANT AT MEMORIAL ARENA AND THE NORTH RINK. THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THAT COMPANY’S PROPOSAL AND ONE FROM WINNIPEG-BASED CIMCO COULD
BE A MILLION DOLLARS, BUT THE LOWER COST OPTION WOULD LIKELY HAVE A
SHORTER LIFESPAN. THE CITY MUST REPLACE ITS’ CURRENT ICE PLANT, AT A
COST ESTIMATED AT BETWEEN TWO AND THREE MILLION DOLLARS.
IN A RELATED NOTE, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO WORKING COMPRESSORS AT THE
ARENA, AFTER CIMCO STARTED THE PROCESS FOR MAKING ICE FOR A SUMMER
HOCKEY CAMP, AND A MOTOR ON ONE OF THE COMPRESSORS BLEW UP AND ANOTHER
BEGAN LEAKING OIL. THE ROSEAU COUNCIL AUTHORIZED STAFF TO WORK WITH
CIMCO TO FIND A SOLUTION, WHICH COULD INCLUDE ASKING THE ROSEAU SCHOOL
FOR USE OF THE RAMS SPORTS CENTER.
