SITE PLAN: Provide an architectural rendering of the arena including the location of the ice
sheets.
The current plan for expansion of the STMA Ice Arena includes a 36,988 sq. ft.
expansion that includes a second sheet of ice, new lobby, and seating for approximately
800.
(Appended within: Concept plans including - Interior and Exterior Elevations, Floor Plan,
Seating Plan, Parking Layout, and Building Section)
AGREEMENTS AND ARRANGEMENTS: Include a copy of any legal agreements or
arrangements with other organizations or governmental agencies participating in the project.
The STMA Ice Arena is equally owned and operated by the cities of St. Michael and

entered into a joint powers agreement. Through the joint powers agreement, the STMA
Arena Board was created to govern and oversee the facility.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE STATEMENT: Briefly describe he plan for
operations and maintenance of the arena. Indicate:
1. Party responsible for operations and maintenance.
The STMA Joint Powers Arena Board, collectively made up by two elected officials from
each of the cities of St. Michael and Albertville, and the St. Michael-Albertville School
District, is responsible for operations and maintenance of the facility. The Arena Board
meets monthly at regularly scheduled meetings to conduct business.
The City of Albertville, through a management agreement provides management and
administrative services for the facility.
2. Source of operations and maintenance.
Our operating goal is for revenue to remain adequate to cash flow the operational cost of
the arena, including capital equipment replacement and building maintenance. It is
understood that annual revenue will most likely be insufficient to cover operations plus
debt service. Debt service or other net loss is typically shared by the governing entities
of the Joint Powers. A detailed operating pro-forma is included in the Ballard King
report.

3. Length of time the arena will be open on a seasonal, weekly, and daily basis
It is the goal of the Arena Board for users and the public to have year-round access to the
facility. During the regular hockey season, the arena will be open approximately 16-
hours per day. During shoulder times and seasons, the facility will be made available
and open based on user demand (both ice and non-ice uses). With a second sheet of ice
in place, the STMA Ice Arena would like to work with National Sports Center Consulting
to develop operating plans and work to maximize the potential of the facility.
