Wheels Skate Park for Upcoming Year <br /> <br />Lengthy discussion was held as to the best way to prevent problems at the Wheels <br />Skate Park in the upcoming season. There are concerns with hiring attendants such <br />as; is there money in the budget, what hours are the most important to cover, can <br />enough people be hired, will teenagers be able to handle the problems that were <br />occurring last year? More police patrols are desirable, but not practical. It was <br />suggested that there be age restrictions or limited hours for specific age groups, <br />such as 1-4:00 p.rn. reserved for younger children, but the problem would be in <br />enforcing it. Mr. Peterson questioned who would hire and superviSe the rink <br />attendants and what were the chances of finding adults for the position? In looking <br />at the financial statements supplied to the committee it was \Dlclear as to which line <br />item applied to the attendants. Ms. Stephan will get additional information on this <br />item for the next scheduled meeting. Council Member Broussard-Vickers <br />questioned whether anyone had talked to the police department about their feelings <br />towards the skate park? Mr. Peterson said that Chief Heckman would prefer <br />Centerville did not have a skate park as it has caused so many problems. The <br />police don't have the time, fimds or desire to give any more support. Council <br />Member Broussard-Vickers asked the committee if they could get $20,000 by <br />selling it the equipment and if the money would go back into a park fund opposed <br /> <br />7of8 <br />
