Summary
The ice arena's rubber floor is deteriorating and bids came in nearly double the estimate at about $150,000. The board is asking the council for reserve funds, using the arena fund and youth hockey's $50,000 pledge to cover most of the rest.

Impact analysis
About $150,000 for the full project, with roughly $45,000 requested from city reserves after other funding is applied.
Hockey players, figure skaters, and other ice arena users get a safe, uniform floor.
If the council declines, users may face a patched, possibly unsafe floor for another year; taxpayers bear the reserve request if approved.
