Temperatures were too cold for skating on some of <br /> those days . The rinks were opened on December 16 , 1983 and closed <br /> on February 13, 1984 . Three hockey rinks were in operation plus <br /> three recreational rinks . <br /> This year the St. Anthony hockey and booster clubs combined, which <br /> was beneficial for the City. Due to the merger , utilization of the <br /> rinks increased. Tournaments sponsored by the two organizations <br /> were very successful . <br /> To ready the rinks for skating took four men about 16 hours a day <br /> for three weeks. After the base ice is ready , the rinks are maintained <br /> 8 hours a day. There were only two weekends this season where <br /> maintenance overtime was required. _ <br /> Cost Summary <br /> Public Works Manpower (4 men) $11 , 480 .00 <br /> Water (approximately 577, 500 gallons). 308.00 <br /> Skating rink attendants (3) 3,589 .25 <br /> Equipment <br /> Tanker truck ($11.00/hour) 4 , 840 .00 <br /> Tractor sweeper (:$8. 00/hour) 308. 00 <br /> Utilities (power, phone , gas) <br /> Silver Point Park 817. 11 <br /> Central Park (gas is on filter plant) 194 . 54 <br /> Emerald Park 414 .92 <br /> TOTAL $21, 951 . 82 <br /> This year' s costs are comparable to past years .
