Lakeville Hockey Association ice usage has remained consistent over the past five years. Cooperation be-
tween the LHA, ISD 194 and the Arenas has helped to maximize ice rentals during the winter months.
Summer ice rentals decreased as partnership with Total Hockey MN to keep ice installed at Hasse Arena dur-
ing the summer months was not renewed as in 2012 & 2013. This caused a reduction of 540 hours between
the summer (June/July) and fall (Aug-Sept) ice seasons. All other summer rentals remained consistent with
previous years.
Learn to Skate hours decreased as the Tuesday daytime classes were eliminated due to lack of enrollment.
Figure Skating usage continues to increase as the Heritage Figure Skating Club grows in size and requires

The Lakeville Arenas Learn to Skate program had an increase in the number of participants in 2014 compared
to 2013. The increase was consistent with a national trend which occurs on a four year cycle following each
Olympics. The LTS program saw revenues of $40,003 and staffing expenses of $16,881 for 2014. Staff will
continue to review and adjust this program while at the same time provide a quality program.

LEARN TO SKATE PROGRAM
In 2011, the Lakeville Arenas Learn To Skate joined
with the City of Farmington Learn To Skate to create a
new figure skating club called Heritage Figure Skating
Club. The Heritage Figure Skating club consists of
skaters from Lakeville, Farmington and surrounding
areas to offer additional skating opportunities beyond
the Learn To Skate program.
The Club started with 17 members in 2011 and has a
current membership of 36 skaters.
In 2012, the Heritage Figure Skating Club hosted the
first Ice Skating Show at the Lakeville Arenas.
The club continues to grow and expand their participa-
tion while increasing their ice rentals.

Revenue Details
Ice Rental revenues in 2014 decreased as partnership with Total Hockey MN to keep ice installed at Hasse
Arena during the summer months was not renewed as in 2012 & 2013.
Dry Floor Rental revenues decreased slightly due to fewer kids consignment sales as the vendor was
working to sell the company.
Public Skating revenues increased in 2014 due to additional sessions during the winter months as a result
of fewer Saturday high school games during the season.
Event Admissions increased in 2014 due to the success of the high school hockey teams.
Concession sales increased due to the increased high school game attendance.
Skate Rental revenues remained steady as non traditional skating families continue to visit the arenas.
Additional Miscellaneous revenue was generated as a result of renting our extra ice resurfacer to the For-
est Lake Arena on short notice when their resurfacer broke down for an extended period.
Skate Sharpening and Advertising revenues were consistent with prior years.

ARENA DEBT SERVICE
The Lakeville community has arena facilities due to the collaborative efforts of the City of Lakeville, Inde-
pendent School District 194, and the Lakeville Hockey Association (LHA).
Ames Arena - The issuance of $1.375 million of Ice Arena Lease Revenue Bonds by the Lakeville Housing
and Redevelopment Authority along with community contributions solicited by the Lakeville Community Cor-
poration and Lakeville Hockey Association provided the financing for construction of the first phase of the
Ames Arena in 1994. Independent School District 194 was also a partner with the land contribution. The City
of Lakeville financed the concrete floor and the temporary seating.
An additional sheet of ice was constructed to Ames Arena in 1997 with financing from $1.305 million of Gen-
eral Arena Bonds issued by the City of Lakeville. A Mighty Ducks grant ($250,000) was provided by the
State of Minnesota. The City of Lakeville and Lakeville Hockey Association each contributed $250,000 to the
project. Independent School District 194 financed the construction of changing rooms.
The permanent seating was financed in 2002 with a short term loan combined with contributions from the
LHA and Independent School District 194. The short-term loan has been paid in full from LHA contributions.
Hasse Arena - Hasse Arena construction was financed in 2007 with a General Obligation Lease Revenue
Bond issued by the Lakeville Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The land was contributed by the City of
Lakeville and Independent School District 194. The Hasse family paid $125,000 for the naming rights.
Ames Arena has $667,000 of debt which is paid
with an annual $95,000 contribution from the Lake-
ville Hockey Association and an annual $88,636
payment from Arena operations. The final payment
on the debt is August 1, 2019.
The City of Lakeville and Independent School Dis-
trict 194 each contribute $289,300 annually to the
retirement of the payment of the $7.737 million of
outstanding debt.

Summary
Overall, the Lakeville Arenas continued to be very successful in 2014. Ice rental revenues dropped slightly as
expected as a summer partnership to keep Hasse Arena open was not renewed. As a result of successful sea-
sons by the HS hockey teams both event admissions and concessions revenue saw nominal increase. Attend-
ance at public skating sessions increased due in part to poor outdoor skating conditions, however, skate rentals
continued to increase as non traditional skating families continue to participate in events at the arenas. Opera-
tional expenditures decreased slightly from 2013 due to a shorter operating season however investment in new
energy efficient equipment such as new LED lighting in Ames #1 will help to control utility expenses for
many years to come.
As we continue to focus on additional revenue sources and attracting new customers and users to our pro-
grams, we are still very focused on retaining our current users as well as reducing our operating expenses
through energy saving ideas, staff training and overall operational efficiency.
