Total Cost: $3,335.08 <br /> <br />Total Maintenance Cost of 2006 Warming House Replacement Plan: $15,156.16 <br /> <br />OVERALL SEASON EVALUATION <br />As part of the Warming House Replacement Plan, staff was to present an end of the year <br />evaluation of the season. The season officially ended ou February 18, 2007. Overall attendance <br />for all rinks increased from 2,635 users in 2005/2006 to 2,876 in 2006/2007 (Attachment A). <br />Staff has listed each of the five sites below and addresses building condition, attendance, further <br />maintenance needed for 2007/2008 season, and any options to be considered. <br /> <br />Cummine:s Park <br />Building Condition -This new pavilion is utilized year round for rentals and <br />progrannning and is in excellent shape. The building has indoor bathrooms and a small <br />kitchen. The old warming house building is utilized for storage. It has had numerous <br />graffiti and vandalism issues and is located in a more remote, dark area of the park. The <br />City Council may consider moving this building to Hazelnut Park in the near future due <br />to these continued issues. If and when the building is moved, it will need a new roof. <br />Structurally, the building is in good condition. <br /> <br />Attendance - Attendance decreased from 414 in 2005/2006 to 283 in 2006/2007. The <br />building was open 30 days versus 32 in 2005/2006. The rinks with a hockey rink are <br />definitely more popular due to the multiple users. However, when the hockey rink was <br />removed after the construction of the building, the City Council decided against <br />constructing a replacement hockey rink. <br /> <br />Further maintenance needed before 2007/2008: None known at this time. <br /> <br />Freewav Park <br />Building Condition - The old building was in disrepair and was torn down. The <br />warming house building from Valentine Park was moved to Freeway Park. The paneling <br />along the bottom of the interior of the building was damaged by previous flooding at the <br />old location. New paneling was installed and the exterior of the building was repainted. <br />The building was relocated on the site for a few reasons: The old location of the <br />building did not meet setback regulations, the building from Valentine was larger and <br />needed more space and better site lines to the rink were needed. Construction of the <br />concrete slab for the new building allowed extra grading to take place at the site, which <br />made it easier to maintain quality ice at this site. The building is much larger and works <br />better for this busier rink. <br /> <br />\ \Metro- iuet. us\ardenhills\PR&PW\Parks\Memos\Council Memos\warming house Review <br />07.DOC <br />
