Minutes of the Parks & Recreation Committee February 14, 1989 Present: Steve Dixon Dan Kupfer Jerry LeTendre Cindy Paschke Lisa Smith Bob Burgstahler, Liason The meeting was called to order at 7:07 p.m. Motion by Dixon to accept January minutes, second by Smith, motion carried. OLD BUSINESS As of February 8, 1989 the P &R Committee has $2,469.60 in a C.D., and $2,639.75 remaining in the budget. This brings our total allowances to $5,109.35 for the remainder of 1989. Dixon noted that a phone is needed at the warming house for emer- gency use. Though there are no budget monies to spend this winter for the phone, we are considering the idea for next year. The cost of having a phone is high, however, and Dixon noted that it is much more cost effective to extend a line running from City Hall. In the future we will ask the City Council if such an idea is workable, and ask the Council to accept our proposal. Dixon asked if the snowblower could be kept at the warming house, because transporting it back and forth is too difficult. It was decided that the snowblower would be kept at the rink. The ice rink is too big for the snowblower to do an efficient, timely job of clearing snow. It was questioned whether we should instead pay a city worker to do the job. Other options are being investigated. LeTendre is still working on ideas for a plaque for Central Park. NEW BUSINESS The old hockey rink needs to be taken down. It was decided that the lumber from the rink should be put up for sealed bid. Cindy will check with Tammy for possible sources for bids. Recently there have been problems with local dogs running at the rink, unleashed and unattended. It has been decided that if the problem continues a formal complaint will be filed against the pet owners. The P &R Committee is looking for donations for a Shop Vac for the warming house, as a broom or vacuum of some sort is desperately needed.
