RESOLUTION APPROVING REALLOCATION OF ICE ARENA CIP
FUNDING FROM WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOM PROJECT TO RADIANT
HEATING REPLACEMENT PROJECT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS,the Ames/ISU Ice Arena has a radiant heating system which provides heat for
the spectator seating area and the lobby area. This system is a critical feature of the Ice Arena and
is regularly used when the Ice Arena is open for games and practices. It was installed prior to the
Arena opening in 2001 and has lasted 23 years, well over its life expectancy of 15 years; and,
WHEREAS, in February 2024, staff discovered that the spectator seating radiant heating
was malfunctioning. Staff was able to make minor repairs to keep it functioning temporarily. After
exploring possible repair options, the recommended action is to replace the equipment; and,
WHEREAS, it remains important to accomplish the Women's Locker Room Project.
However, completion of this project is not critical to the Ice Arena's basic operation, whereas a
functioning radiant heating system is. Staff plans to evaluate the Women's Locker Room Project
for programming into a future CIP.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that reallocation of$75,000 of Ice Arena CIP funding from the Women's Locker Room Project to
the Radiant Heating Replacement Project is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 26th day of March, 2024.
