## New Business

### 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

Manager of Operations, Wade Davies asked the board of directors for approval to spend the funds given to the library from municipal councils for needed repairs that include the replacement of two air handling units and the repair of the leaking skylights.

MOVED/SECONDED BY DIRECTORS WADE AND PARKINSON THAT APPROVAL BE GIVEN TO WSPRS  
STAFF TO COMMISSION REPAIRS TO THE JDF LIBRARY THAT INCLUDE THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO AIR  
HANDLING UNITS AND THE REPAIR OF THE LEAKING SKYLIGHTS.

CARRIED

It was suggested by the board of directors that a small administration fee be added for staff time on the repairs.
