CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO CITY PARKS - UPDATE - MARTY ASLESON

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