Call to Order: President John Whitlock calls meeting to order at 7:23. Motion is made to accept minutes from December meeting by Steve Worthley.  Motion is seconded by Joe Schrimpf. Motion is approved unanimously.

President, John Whitlock asks if there are any objections to suspending rules to allow John Hatch the opportunity to address the current situation at the Kasabuski Arena. There are no objections. John Hatch explains that the Town Manager Andrew Bisigiani has put out a Request for Proposal (RFP).  The Kasabuski Board of Governors’ (BOG) requested and received a meeting with the Town Manager (TM).  BOG’s felt many questions were left unanswered.  There appears to be great support from various members of Town Government to save the rink.  John Hatch states that any final agreement between the Town and any potential sublease will need the approval of the BOG.  John Hatch, the BOG and the TM will work together to structure the best deal for the Town.  John also explains timeline of financial situation.  He also explains that financial situation has been caused by Capitol Improvements that were done at the rink (i.e. new roof, new transformer and new humidifier). Cross ice program has been a great success.
