1. Policy for Rink Attendants - Pat Bush will hire, supervise and
schedule rink attendants this year. A description of duties and
guidelines for these rink attendants was passed out. Discussion
and some minor changes were made. The suggested salary was about
$3.75 an hour or $2,600 total for the skating season. There was
some discussion regarding the recreational rink at the Falcon
Heights School. Pat Bush will check and see if two separate or
adjoining rinks can be flooded to separate hockey and recreational
skaters.
Also, signs will be posted on the warming houses at Idaho-Snelling
and at the Community Park detailing hours of the skating season.
2. Winter Activity Day - Pat Bush has suggested this Commission sponsor
a winter activity day at the Community Park on a Sunday afternoon
around the first part of February. Some of the suggested activities
may include: cross country ski instruction, figure skating, speed
skating, Gopher/North Star hockey clinic, treasure hunt, snow
man building contest and hot cider and refreshments.
More work will be done on this at a later meeting.

3. Winter Program - The first part of January is targeted for beginning
the winter program. A notification will be made in the Roseville
Review. Bush will also check to see if the Bu le would be worthwhile
to also use.
4. Grove Park Warming House - Three members of the Grove Association
were present to express their concern that they would like to see
a continuation of a warming house at this park. Pat Bush had
a building inspector look at .the warming house. His recommendation
was that the present structure was not worth fixing up and indeed
should be dismantled. The Park and Recreation Commission made a
motion to dismantle the warming house at the Grove per the inspector's
recommendation while keeping the security light used for night
skating. Motion was carried.

Pat Bush will check and see how the seeding is going at this
park to determine whether or not a rink can be flooded this
winter.
Some discussion was also held as to the feasibility of a bond to
fund recreational capital improvements.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul Nelson
