Beaver County facilities staff told the Board of Commissioners at the Aug. 13 work session that a recent walkthrough of the county ice facility found no major capital improvements were required and that ice operations will resume on a phased schedule.

“Kenny,” identified during the department head report, said county staff conducted a year walkthrough with Reno Brothers from Hutchins Fein and that staff replaced filters and found "no major capital improvement needed for our current chiller system." He told the board the ice will be back up and running starting Monday; early operations will be limited to weekday hours and the county expects seven‑day operations to begin after Labor Day.

Why it matters: The facility’s reopening affects youth and community recreation and scheduling for county programs that use ice time. The department head said there were no outstanding capital repairs identified during the walkthrough.

What was said and done: Facilities staff reported the inspection results and a plan to return to operations: initial weekday sessions (staff described arrivals “Monday through Friday” for the first weeks) and a transition to full seven‑day service after Labor Day. No cost‑estimate or formal capital appropriation was described at the work session.

Discussion versus action: This report was informational. No formal county vote or budget action was recorded during the work session; staff described operational timing and said maintenance work (filter replacement) was completed.
