In a best-case scenario, a second ice pad at the Recreation Recreation Complex could be completed and open to the public public by 1998. And, to stay as optimistic a possible, let's do the unthinkable. unthinkable. Let's, just this one time, not consider a worst- case scenario. Plans for an additional ice pad at the Recreation Complex are in motion. The idea has been included in the budget considerations for 1997, and will be discussed discussed by Clarington Municipal Council. When that discussion discussion will be held is anybody's guess. The budget process process could last until March of next year before final approval is granted. But, at least there is a time frame to work from. The Director of Community Services, Joe Caruana, has undertaken a study to find out how other municipalities municipalities with twin ice pads are operating their facilities. He envisions that a Recreation Complex, with two ice pads could turn a profit, or at the very least break even. The mathematics aren't that difficult to calculate. Once the initial cost of the addition is established, the operating cost of running an arena with one ice pad as opposed to two doesn't escalate. Sure, heat and hydro bills will rise. But there will be no need to hire extra staff and the two ice pads will work off the same equipment equipment and share the same ice resurfacer. Obviously, the revenue generated will double with the extra ice rentals. "We need another ice pad fast, and the need for another another one is there," said Caruana. As an example, he pointed out that .the Recreation Hockey League had a waiting list of over 150 players this season. The arenas have been forced to open earlier on some days to enable the overload of kids an opportunity to play hockey. It's estimated that the addition would cost $3.5 million, million, with $2.5 million of that coming from the municipality municipality through development charges. The remaining $1 million will be discussed during budget deliberations. Of course, any fundraising would be welcomed. The second ice pad would be constructed onto the east side of the Recreation Complex which faces Highway Highway 57. When the original building was erected, it was constructed with the provisions that a second pad would be added some time in the future. The addition will be a down-scaled version of the existing existing ice pad, said Caruana, with no impact on the tax levy. The final decision of approval will rest with Clarington Clarington Council. Caruana would like to see construction start in 1997, with the first rentals taking to the ice in 1998.
