Parks Commission Meeting Minutes February 14, 2000 Page 5 1 Jindra asked about the specific sizes of the rinks in the pictures because one rink appeared fairly 2 small, and the second rink larger. 3 Ms. Schober stated she would find out the specific dimensions; however, regulation sized rinks 4 are not required because they would mostly be used for recreational hockey. 5 Hartman stated that lighter weight materials are generally preferred for portable systems; how - 6 ever, he would be interested in researching the concept of wood boards. 7 Thuesen asked if plastic would make sense for durability.
