J.. Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 09-01-04 Committee Member Ziegler stated Centerville is small city with a small budget, would Centerville be able to afford the services of SRF and would SRF be willing to work on such a small project. Ms. Giese suggested a simple analysis of the issues involved and the possibility of working with the design standards and the grant process. SRF would give an estimate of charges before actually starting the project. Chairperson Peterson questioned whether the City would have a legal issue with Bonestroo, the City's engineering firm if the committee were to use the services of SRF. Chairperson Peterson will discuss the legalities of working with SRF with the City Administrator. Committee Member Seeley felt SRF could be extremely valuable at the next grant rewrite. Ms. Giese estimated the cost at approximately $800. The committee agreed the money spent on a feasibility study would be money well spent. v.

Centennial Youth Hockev Association Use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Hockev Rink for the 2004-2005 Season Ms. Jodi McGregor, Outdoor Ice Coordinator for the Centennial Youth Hockey Association (CYHA), sent a request to the committee regarding the use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park ice rink for the 2004-2005 hockey season. CYHA would like to use the rink for outdoor ice as they have in the past and are requesting extended dedicated hours. CYHA is also requesting the rink for dryland training starting in October, after tryouts and teams are placed, and continuing until outdoor ice is available or weather permits. The dryland usage is a first time request to the City of Centerville. CYHA currently uses two other parks in the surrounding communities for this purpose as it aids in training and preparation for the ice season. Ms. McGregor stated: We usually use the rink in the evenings, from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm, during the week. If this is approved, we would need to know what is appropriate for your lighting situation. The other parks we use have either automatic light systems or we manually turn them on and off when we are at the rink. We also use a "lock box" system for obtaining access to the warming house with the key always being returned to the lock box. This system has worked well with the other communities and I would be happy to forward names and phone numbers if you would like to speak with others regarding the process and procedure. 30f7
