Questions about the Warwick City Hall Plaza rink
Don’t ask if it feels successful.

THE FINANCIAL BASIS
Seven questions to ask plainly.
Why does the approved FY2026 budget show $723,546 in rink revenue while the proposed FY2027 budget identifies the FY2026 adopted amount as $798,546?
What actual revenue has been recognized by month and source from skating, rentals, bumper cars, concessions, events, advertising, sponsorships and naming rights?
What actual expenses have been charged to the facility, and what related costs are recorded elsewhere?
What changed to support exactly $671,511 in requested FY2027 revenue—the precise amount of requested expenses?
What measures determine whether the plaza meets its financial and community goals?
Will the City publish a monthly plain-language statement comparing actual revenue and expense with the adopted budget?
WHAT TO REQUEST
Records that could settle the question.
Monthly general-ledger detail; revenue by source; original forecasts and worksheets; sponsorship payment schedules; capital and equipment purchases; and performance reporting.
Be specific. Name the fiscal year. Say whether you mean an approved budget, a projection, recorded receipts or final results.
A question sent to City Hall is not automatically a formal public-records request. See how to get answers.
