ARDEN HILLS PARKS TRAILS & RECREATION COMMITTEE 4 Mr. Ingram went through a list prepared by his office of issues he sees within the City parks. Mr. Ingram provided a map of the process of developing the Master Plan over the next six or seven months. His office will strive to have a final plan available for review at the City's 50th anniversary celebration. Committee Member Crassweller suggested scheduling a work session in April. Consent was reached to schedule a work session for April 21, 2001 at 9:00 a.m. Mr. Ingram and the Committee reviewed and discussed the survey flier to be mailed to residents concerning the parks. Mr. Ingram indicated he would make the edits to the flier as requested by the Committee and provide it to Staff for review and Council approval before it is mailed to residents. DATE/TIME OF NEXT MEETING By consensus, the next meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, February 27, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall. 4PAGENDA ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING Discussion of Comprehensive Plan Making of Signs to Display at Various Locations Throughout the City Concerning the Parks Review of Ice Rink Polices and Procedures OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION Committee Member Zilmer stated he has an issue with broomball players using the skating rinks. The broomball players ask skaters to leave the ice and kids are intimidated. Ms. Olson indicated the rink in question is not open before 4:30 p.m. so the City can't control it but her rink attendants know that 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. is community skating time and no Bethel teams are allowed to practice during that time. Broomball players need to share the ice as do the hockey and general skaters. There will be times when the rink attendant doesn't feel comfortable enforcing the rules. She has notified Bethel that they are not allowed to practice between 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. It is a difficult issue to enforce as it may not be Bethel broomball players but a group of residents who want to play broomball. She asked Committee Members to let her know of any issues as they arise and to get names of violators if possible to help determine if the players are from toBethel or not.
