He reviewed the <br />report noting that the number of hours the rinks are being used <br />for hockey practice would be included in the report next year. <br />Acting Chair Taschuk asked if other cities have eliminated <br />warming houses and open rinks all together due to the cost. Rick <br />advised there are many cities that have eliminated open rinks and <br />warming houses all together. He stated he believes there is <br />enough use to continue with the Lino Lakes locations at this <br />time. He indicated he has received complaints from residents in <br />the northern part of the City regarding the lack of informal <br />rinks in that area. That issue will be looked into next year. <br />Aaron asked that City staff makes sure the warming house hours <br />are listed on the web site. <br />Bill indicated he believes the warming house supervisors should <br />shovel the rinks more. He also stated that if the ice were in <br />better condition there would be more use of the rinks. <br />REVIEW BIRCH STREET TRAIL PLANS AND SPECS: <br />Rick advised the City does not yet have the level of detail to <br />adequately review the plans and specs for the Birch Street trail. <br />1 <br />
