Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us 2 • Date: 2/24/04 To: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director Lino Lakes Park Board From: Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor Subject: Warming house shelter season report I have enclosed the attendance figures for the two shelters that were staffed with rink attendants this past season of 2003 -2004. You will notice that Birch Park had very similar attendance figures as last season while Sunrise Park attendance figures grew from last season. It was determined to cease the warming house functions at Lino Park and City Hall Park for this season. The Parks and Recreation Department did not field any communications from the Lino Park neighborhood. The Parks and Recreation Department did however field two communications from people who reside on the north side of the city. The Park Board may wish to consider eliminating an hour per night at each of the existing shelters and transfer these hours to operating City Hall Park as a staffed warming house next season. This would eliminate the later hours that were of low attendance and allow City Hall Park to once again be open for the general public. The fourteen hours would not be sufficient to operate City Hall on a full time basis, but the Parks and Recreation Department could open this shelter part time such as Thursday- Sunday. This season the shelter was only opened upon request from hockey associations, boy scouts or neighborhood gatherings. LINO LAKES PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT "We are working hard, so you can play"
