• 3. MDTED Grant Application - Idaho/Spelling Park <br />On Thursday, Sept. 27 three people from the granting <br />agency came and looked at the park. Carol had minimal <br />notice but managed to round up 4 moms and their kids. Carol <br />thought the site visit went well, as it helped indicate that <br />the public was interested in the park. There were 60 <br />applications, 10 metro and the rest outstate. Of the <br />dollars available, 1/2 is scheduled to go Metro and 1/2 <br />outstate. Carol thought we had one of the cheaper projects. <br />We should hear mid-November. <br />4. Ice Rinks <br />Carol hoped to alleviate the complaints about bad ice. <br />She will still check the ice regularly and instruct when and <br />where flooding should occur. Carol wants to have 2 job <br />descriptions: 3 rink attendants, who will monitor the rinks <br />from 4-9pm weekdays, 10-10 Sat, and 1-9 Sun and 10-10 on <br />vacation days. Carol will supervise these people. The <br />other job will be a rink flooders, who will be supervised by <br />Vince. Carol will still monitor ice quality. Hopefully <br />there will be more accountability this way. <br />• Carol K indicated that we need a policy about snow <br />removal from the ice rinks. Connie indicated that it would <br />be nice to have an idea of Roseville's policy. Carol <br />thought that they removed snow if the snowfall ended by 4pm <br />Saturday, so that Sunday would still be available to <br />skating. Any snow under 2" would be removed by the rink <br />attendants. Vince has a new pick up truck with a blade and <br />snow removal should be faster. We discussed the possibility <br />that a temporary public works person could plow the rinks on <br />Sat to save money for overtime. We agreed this would be a <br />good idea. <br />By consensus it was agreed that the Falcon Heights rink <br />should be clearly posted "NO HOCKEY" for safety reasons. <br />This will be publicized in Falcon Heights school literature <br />also. <br />5. New Equipment <br />The Kompan stuff has arrived. We need a letter to the <br />Focus and Review thanking the North Suburban Youth <br />Association and a letter to the Association as well. Linda <br />said she would be willing to write this letter. Their money <br />enabled us to buy spring toys, diggers, sand tables and a <br />new sand box. The cost was approximately $2,465. <br />
