ATTENDANTS ALLOWED TO SKATE WHxLE WORKING <br />Nineteen cities indicate they do not allow warming house <br />attendants to skate while on duty. All the other cities <br />indicated a "provisional" yes. None of those 21 cities allows <br />hockey to be played by attendants. The "provisional" responses <br />included: to lead activities; cleaning/organizational; <br />supervisory skating; if all patrons.are skating; if low <br />attendance; only to patrol; 40% ice/60o building; if warming <br />house is quiet; etc. <br />EMPLOYEE IDENTIFICATION <br />Currently, twenty cities are using jackets/vests/sweat shirts for <br />attendant identification. Three cities indicated name tags only <br />were used for ID, but several more indicated the possibility for <br />next year. Employee identification appears to be a <br />common problem/frustration for many cities. <br />RINK MAINTENANCE <br />Survey response to the question regarding maintenance follow: <br />OF CITIES FREQUENCY <br />Park Maintenance/Public Works: 2 Late Friday <br />4 Saturday only <br />14 Sat. & Sun. <br />10 Heavy snow only <br />Attendants and Volunteers: 4 Shovels Only <br />No Maintenance 6 <br />CONCESSIONS <br />Comments indicated vandalism is a problem in some communities <br />using pop machines.
