Cart rentals, for people who have their own carts, went from $125 to $200 for the season. Dale explained the City was now in the cart rental business and over a period of time would be eliminating the practice of allowing private carts on the course. Dale, however, did comment he would have no objection with the price increase being discussed by the municipal operations committee at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Hodge and Mr. Lobley appreciated that and will • probably be in attendance when it is discussed. II. SAWYER ARENA Through the end of December, the expenditures at Sawyer were $102,000 with revenues at $64,000. During the month of January, expenditures were only $18,600 while revenues were at $43,000. A carbon monoxide air quality check was performed recently at the arena and the ice surface area came within acceptable guidelines. The locker rooms and toilets, however, were over acceptable guidelines. The propane heaters in those areas were cleaned and vented and since then the air quality has improved. III. BANGOR ARMORY RENOVATIONS Things are moving along nicely with the renovations at the Armory. The carpeting on the second floor has been installed. The heated maintenance area is almost done. All that remains to be done is to paint the walls and ceiling and install the doors. Constant work is being done on the heating system to make it more efficient. • IV.
