Mayor Mel Norton's idea of building a fourplex with multi ice surfaces is getting support from a consultant the city hired to review its core services.
Todd MacDonald of Performance Concepts Consulting says it's one of the trends happening in other cities because it's more efficient to run and less costly. He also points out the arenas around town are getting long in the tooth.
MacDonald is also suggesting the city might want to cut back on what it's offering at arenas during the day, Monday through Friday, because of low use and that would free up city workers for more productive jobs.
