The Woodstock Soccer Club is requesting another 75-thousand dollars from the city this year, to help offset operational costs at the new Cowan Park facility. The Soccer Club raised some alarm this week by writing a letter to city council, saying based on their $8000-$9000 hydro bills, there may be a "serious fault with the design of the mechanical components". City engineer Harold DeHann says the city will make some minor tweeks to the building, but there's nothing seriously wrong. "We are looking into it, we found there's some systems that weren't being operated properly, or being maintained properly. So that's been correct. There's nothing major wrong with the building, it's a good, solid building." By comparison, DeHaan says the Community Complex in Woodstock budgets around 22-thousand dollars per month for Hydro. But he says that accounts for the ice pads and a larger facility. He believes the current hydro bills at the Cowan Park building aren't out of the ordinary. The building is owned by the city, but operated by the soccer club.
