!r <br /> 1 11111 <br /> • <br /> MEMO TO: MoundsV ew Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: St <br /> —7aiW <br /> DATE: January 27 , 1982 <br /> RE: Winter Skating Program <br /> The winter skating program is in full swing and running relatively smoothly. <br /> There was a delay in opening Greenfield Park due to possible budget reductions <br /> 1110 (see enclosed memo) but the four warming houses opened December 22, 1981 with <br /> Greenfield opening January 15, 1982. <br /> We currently have five portable buildings at Greenfield, Groveland, Hillview, <br /> Lambert and Woodcrest Parks. Each of the buildings is heated with propane <br /> except Hillview which is electric heat. There were considerable problems <br /> during the initial weeks in constructing benches , stairs , matting , and <br /> electrical hook-ups . We have received a minimum number of complaints regarding <br /> the buildings , largely from Lake Region Hockey teams during game nights when <br /> the buildings are just too small . Although we have received some negative <br /> comments regarding the size there are some obvious advantages of windows and <br /> heat. In general staff feels that the portable buildings are working fairly <br /> well given the alternatives we were faced with. <br /> The City Council did award the construction phase of the Lambert Shelter Building <br /> to Stenco Construction Company, but the weather has not been conducive to building <br /> construction. Our contacts with Stenco Corporation indicate that they will <br /> 111/1 <br /> probably commence construction in early March when the weather warms up a bit <br /> (about 36°) to pour footings. <br />
