<br />The Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the rink upgrades at their meeting on March 5, <br />2020. They thought that the rinks would be a great enhancement to the park. One area that they <br />discussed was adding Little Canada Recreation Association (LCRA) recognition graphics to <br />some of the panels. Staff will look into different recognition options. The Commission made a <br />motion at the meeting to recommend the City Council approve of the purchase of new boards for <br />the Fire Barns hockey rink and professional installation of the boards at a price of $85,266.06 <br /> <br />SOURCE OF FUNDS: <br />The project was included in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan at $102,400. It was presented to <br />the Little Canada Recreation Association at a recent meeting and it generously agreed to fund the <br />anticipated $102,000 cost of the total project. A copy of the relevant motion from the LCRA <br />meeting in December is shown below. There may be some additional grading required over and <br />above what was originally anticipated which may require additional funds. Staff believes those <br />additional costs can be absorbed in the Parks operating budget if necessary. <br /> <br />Little Canada Recreation Association Meeting Minutes – December 10, 2019 <br />“Old Fire Barn Rink Boards – Derek Anderson, Park Supervisor is requesting funds to improve and <br />enhance the Fire Barns Hockey Rink. His proposal includes new boards, fencing and cement work at a <br />cost of $102,000. Jon made a motion to donate $102,000 to the city to fund this project. The motion <br />was seconded by Dave. Motion passed.” <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends approving the purchase of new boards for the Fire Barns hockey rink and the <br />professional installation of the boards at a price of $85,266.06. Becker Arena Products requires <br />payment of 45% of the total cost up front so staff also recommends authorizing payment of <br />$38,400 to Becker Arena Products in March 2020. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Becker Arena Products Contract <br />Picture of the boards in place at a different rink <br />Map of area highlighting City-owned property vs. SPRWS property <br />No additional agreement needed email from SPRWS <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
