8. a) Q Centre Allocation Policy – amendment due to JDF Arena closure
Administrator, Grant Brown commented that under normal circumstances, the Q Centre space is allocated in the following order:
i. Major Lease Holders
ii. Minor Sport
iii. Adult Users
iv. Special Events
v. Single Bookings
vi. Commercial Groups
Due to the fact that the JDF Arena is scheduled for immediate repair, leaving only one rentable ice surface, staff propose that the Q Centre space is allocated in the following order until the JDF Arena ice is available for use:
i. Major Lease Holders
ii. Minor Sport
iii. Adult Users
iv. Single Bookings
The re-ordering of the space allocation will help give minor sports groups more ice time that they will be losing due to the repairs of the JDF Arena.
The RFP for consulting services for the JDF Arena Improvement project has gone to tender.
MOVED/SECONDED BY DIRECTORS PARKINSON AND WADE THAT THE Q CENTRE ALLOCATION POLICY
BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE THE TEMPORARY RE-ORDERING AS SUGGESTED BY WSPRS STAFF UNTIL
THE REPAIRS TO THE JDF ARENA ARE COMPLETED AND THE SPACE IS AVAILABLE FOR USE.
CARRIED
8. b) Library Maintenance

STAFF TO COMMISSION REPAIRS TO THE JDF LIBRARY THAT INCLUDE THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO AIR
HANDLING UNITS AND THE REPAIR OF THE LEAKING SKYLIGHTS.
