Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes November 1,2006 2006-2007 hockey season. CYHA would like to use the rink for outdoor ice as they have in the past and are requesting extended dedicated hours. The committee discussed the association's request for additional ice time and opted to keep the days and hours the same as in the past seasons, allowing Centerville residents access to the ice with the exception of 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen to recommend to City Council approving the Centennial Youth Hockey Association's use of the hockey rink for the 2006-2007 season with a dedicated half sheet of ice from 7:00 - 8:00 p.m. and a dedicated full sheet of ice from 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. All in Favor: Motion passed unanimously. The signed waiver from CYHA has been received by the City. Centennial Youth Hockev Association's Use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for Dry Land Practice CYHA requested the use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for Dry Land Practice from August 10, 2006 through September 2006. This was approved by the committee and by City Council, but CYHA was unable to use that time. CYHA again requested the use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for Dry Land Practice beginning in October and running through the start of outdoor ice. I sent the request directly to City Council with the guidelines set in the previous Parks & Recreation Committee's recommendation and City Council approved it at the October 11, 2006 City Council Meeting. CYHA is currently using the facilities at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for Dry Land Practice. The City has a current schedule and a list of coaches using the facility. Open SkaMe: Coupons for Schwan Super Rink When the City of Centerville entered into the agreement to support the Schwan Super Rink's expansion, it was agreed the City would receive passes to coordinate some type of City event and offer free ice time to residents. City Administrator Larson recently received 48 Open Skating Coupons and would like to pass them on to the Committee to determine a use for them. The committee discussed possible ways to use these coupons, but really could not make a decision without further information. Council Member Paar questioned why 48 coupons were given to the City? He remembered free ice time for Centerville residents for a community event, but did not specifically remember how it was proposed be offered and neither did the committee members. The committee also questioned: 1) Whether Centerville residents get a discount at open skate days, and if so, what is the discount. 2) The City received 48 coupons for free skating at open skating. Is this what we are supposed to use for Centerville's Parks & Recreation's skate night functions? Will the City get these every year? 3) Does the City of Centerville get a discount if we rent the whole sheet of ice for just our residents for a Parks and Recreation event, and what would that cost be? 4) If the city of Centerville's Parks & Recreation Committee sponsors a skate day for the residents do we get a discount for the rental party area, and what is that cost? Council Member Paar said he would contact Lisa Hockert, President of CYHA, to get more information. This will be discussed at the next scheduled committee meeting. 30f7
