Does the project reduce or eliminate a health or safety risk? Yes. The replacement of the current ice rink and equipment will eliminate the risk of contamination and potential injury. The slow failure of the system is allowing soft spots to form around the rink which is a potential hazard to anyone skating on the ice. Also, the old equipment increases the potential failure of this system and the R-22 coolant is toxic to humans. The R-22 coolant also depletes the earth's ozone layer and this type of coolant is being phased out, under federal regulation and due to the lack of availability, the cost of purchasing R-22 have been increasing. 2. In your opinion, what is the current condition of the facility? Poor. As stated by the borough, there is an imminent failure of the floor and chiller. The ice plant was installed in 1991 and it is believed that the current system has a life span of 20-30 years. The plant has operated well for many years but has started to show signs of outliving its useful life. It can be assumed that problems will continue, and the magnitude of the problems will most likely increase. 3. Does the project improve accessibility compliance? No. 4. How old is the facility since original construction? 21-30 years 5. Does the project replace an existing facility? No. The Carlson Center will not be replaced. The intent is to keep access to ice in the Carlson Center for 20-25 years by replacing the existing ice rink equipment with a portable rink which we believe can be done at a fraction of the cost of other ideas which have been discussed . 6. What is the status of project funding? No funding sources have been identified for this project, but we believe there are many user groups that would be willing to provide funding support if ice availability could be more consistent. Current users are afraid to sign up for regular ice during the winter sports season due to ongoing event cancelations and significant difficulties trying to reschedule lost ice due to these cancelations. We spoke with largest youth hockey organization, Hockey Club Fairbanks, which currently has over 500 participants, and they indicated increase used of ice would be assured as long as ice wasn't always cancelled for events.
