Marty stated that lights will go <br /> up once the electricity is installed. <br /> Marty stated that new lights are hooked up in Sunrise Park <br /> that are 18 to 24 feet high. <br /> George Lindy asked if the city would like the area residents <br /> to help in the flooding and upkeep of the ice rinks at Birch <br /> Park. George felt that the city crews are busy, and he knows <br /> of two residents that would be more than happy to help out . <br /> Marty said he would never turn down volunteers who would like <br /> to help. Marty would like to meet with George Lindy and the <br /> residents to discuss operation of the hydrants and the <br /> flooding of the rinks. <br /> The board discussed the ice rinks at Birch Park. The park <br /> board decided that for one year these rinks will simply be <br /> open to area residents who wish to use them. The hockey rink <br /> will not be scheduled for any structured games . The board <br /> realizes the necessity for more hockey rinks in the city, but <br /> they feel that there is also a need for open rinks without <br /> any restrictions placed on them. After one year the board <br /> will look at how often the rinks were used, and will decide <br /> at that time if the rinks should remain open or allow <br /> scheduled playing time . <br /> Marty Asleson will keep the board informed as to the outside <br /> interest in the city' s ice rinks . <br /> Page 2 <br />
