STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff has been working very closely with key members of user groups. Based <br />upon providing the best recreational services, the desire to keep the citizens <br />safely active, the desires assessed from community groups and based upon <br />what we know at this point, staff recommends that we plan and provide for a full <br />natural ice season at the OVAL for the 2004-05 seasons on the entire surface for <br />practice and experimental purposes and provide additional maintenance as <br />resources permit on the outdoor neighborhood rinks to accomplish the best ice <br />season possible with natural ice. Staff also recommends that we continue to <br />trouble shoot the problem and assess alternatives. <br />It is extremely important that this direction setting decision be made as soon as <br />possible in order to secure/maintain sufficient PT staff and provide timely <br />communication to user �r�u�� and the general public. <br />REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />Motion directing staff to continue to troubleshoot and address the pressure <br />problems at the OVAL, and in the meantime to proceed to plan for and conduct a <br />natural ice season over the full OVAL as outlined above. <br />
