hffMO T0: Parks and Recreat9on Comnissioners <br />FROM: Staff <br />UATE: January 24, 1979 <br />RE: Winter Skating Policy Manual <br />Enclosed is the exfsting policy for our winter warming house program. There <br />has been soire question concerning why the rinks have been closed on certain <br />evenings. , <br />The general policy for the closing of rinks is as follows: <br />1. When the temperature reaches 15° betow zero or 20° below zero windchill. <br />2. When there is 3 or rtare inches of snow on the rink and it is still <br />snowing. <br />3. When there are 5 or less kids. <br />The difficuity of enforcing these policies is that each rink has individual <br />needs such as hockey practices, skating lessons, games, etc. In addition to <br />the scheduling conflicts there have been confiicts of interpretation as to <br />when each of the policies should go into effect. <br />We presentty have weekly meetings with the warming house attendants to review <br />the past week and to discuss the rink ciosing policies. <br />Staff would recomrend that the Comnission reco�nend approval of the warming <br />house policies as prepared by staff. <br />
