ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 21, 2020 8 <br /> <br /> <br />Recreation Programmer Vaughan reported the lights were not on timers, but rather the rink <br />attendants were responsible for turning the lights on and off, with the exception of Cummings <br />Park. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant stated picnic tables could be placed near the rinks in order to assist people in <br />putting their skates on. He noted this would also provide residents with a place to put their <br />belongings. <br /> <br />Recreation Programmer Vaughan explained other communities were placing picnic tables near <br />rinks for this winter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden suggested the warming houses be used only by the attendant and that <br />picnic tables be located outside the rinks for use by the visitors. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott and Councilmember McClung supported this recommendation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes stated she could support this option but feared attendance at the rinks <br />would go down without the warming houses being open. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden requested staff still draft a cleaning policy for the warming houses. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scott recommended the City be flexible with the warming house attendants <br />given the fact a second wave of COVID was expected late this fall or early winter. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden questioned if the City would be on the hook for unemployment if the <br />warming house attendants were hired and then hours were reduced or eliminated. <br /> <br />Recreation Programmer Vaughan stated the number of hours per week would be too low for <br />these employees to qualify for unemployment. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to support ice skating rinks this winter, along with the opening of warming <br />houses for the attendants only with picnic tables around the rinks for the visitors. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant questioned how the Council wanted to proceed with skating lessons and clinics. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden asked if the number of people in the clinics would pay for the instructor. <br />She stated she would only want four to six students in a class for safety purposes. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes explained she supported both the ice skating lessons and clinics. She <br />indicated there would be enough social distancing during these events. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented he would need more information regarding the number of <br />attendees and how State guidelines would be met. <br /> <br />Recreation Programmer Vaughan stated he could come back with more information on how the <br />City would approach the skating lessons and clinics. <br />
