as well as the reeds of the city general maintenance. Motion by Koch, :seconded by Pelton, carried

A motion was made to officially close the rink facilities for the winter 86-87 season February 14.
Due to a deteriorating ice condition and cant nued forecast of warm weather, we feel that use of the
facilities will be limited as best. The closure will incl the termination of such services as an
open warming house, lights, flooding, shoveling, satellite, and attendants present.
Motion rnade by Koch, seconded by Pelton, carried unanimously. Coach Greg Hill was asked if their
season would last much longer and he said no, due to the poor ice conditions; attendant Rick L'Allier
said that the rink has been closed much of the past few weeks due to same.
P&R request that the Council notify Pelton as soon as a decision has been reached and then Pelton
will notify the head attendant of the closure and ask him to contact the other attendants. We will
request that the attendants attend the March P&R meeting to give us a report on the 86-87 rink
program and to turn in all keys. We will ask Coaches Hill end Mann to attend the March meeting to
give us a report on the season, too and to turn in keys.
