City arenas need $2.8M in urgent and pre-emptive work
City administrators are urging city council to allow them to proceed with $2.8 million in urgent and pre-emptive maintenance work at five of the municipality's arenas.
“Given these components are critical to the operation of arena facilities, it is likely that any failure will result in a prolonged service level interruption displacing user groups.” The city’s elected officials put a pause on many arena expenses while the city has been drafting an updated Arena Renewal Strategy slated to help guide future capital investments.
Instead of proceeding with the full scope of arena work, Pafford has recommended this scaled-back version, consisting only of the most “urgent and pre-emptive maintenance work as recommended by third parties.”
