<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes December 6, 2006 <br /> <br />Skate Nie:hts for 2007 - Open Skatine: Coupons for Schwan Super Rink (Paar) <br /> <br />The committee needs to consider whether there are going to be Skate Nights scheduled for 2007 and <br />what the event(s) would consist of and what dates. In the past, the Committee has had Skate Nights in <br />conjunction with Frozen Fete des Lacs and the Car Races on Ice. It has been held at Laurie LaMotte <br />Memorial Park, with and without ice to skate on. It has also been held at the Anoka County Regional <br />Park. The event in the past has consisted of skating, a bonfire, hot chocolate & popcorn and a horse <br />drawn hayride. The cost of the horse drawn hayride has been approximately $525. If the committee <br />wants to schedule a similar event, we will need to contact Bunker Stables soon to reserve a date. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar was not able to attend the December 6, 2006 Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting, but supplied the committee with an update on the Open Skating Coupons for the Schwan <br />Super Rink. He had contacted Ms. Lisa Hockert, President CYHA, with the committee's questions <br />regarding the use of the coupons and the rink in general. Following are her responses: <br /> <br />Q: Do all Centerville residents get a discount at open skate days? And if so what is the discount? <br /> <br />A: The passes you received can be usedfor any scheduled open skating at the Super Rink So, with the <br />pass, the skate session is free. Without the pass, a Centerville resident would pay full price. <br /> <br />Q: We received 48 coupons for free skating at open skating. Is this what we are supposed to use <br />for Centerville's Parks & Recreation's skate functions? Will we get these every year? Does the <br />City of Centerville get a discount if we rent the whole sheet of ice for just our residents for a <br />Parks & Recreation event, and what would that cost be? And I know those times are limited to <br />what is available. <br /> <br />A: Glad you received the passes! The passes are written into the agreement between the NSC and the <br />City of Centerville. Centerville can distribute the passes in any way they choose. The agreement also <br />states that the City of Centerville can schedule a FREE Skate Night for Centerville residents only. <br />Residents would need to show ID to be admitted free on that one scheduled night. You will need to <br />work with Pete Carlson pcarlson@superrink.or$! at SR to select an available hour and the ice for that <br />hour is free to the City. <br /> <br />Q: If the City of Centerville's Parks & Recreation Committee sponsors a Skate Night for the <br />residents do we get a discount for the rental party area, and what is that cost? <br /> <br />A: Again, this answer would come from Pete Carlson at the Super Rink. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar contacted Mr. Carlson, but is waiting for a reply. <br /> <br />The committee briefly discussed having a Skate Night at the Schwan Super Rink with one hour free <br />and purchasing another hour in addition to having a hayridelbonfire night at Laurie LaMotte Memorial <br />Park. Because of the length of this meeting, the committee opted to table this item until the next <br />scheduled meeting. <br /> <br />La Company <br /> <br />8 of 10 <br />
