Based on <br />staffing, the total expenditures for rink attendants for 2025-2026 season was $11,955. <br />Setup and Installation <br />The hockey rink boards at Central Park and Silver Point Park remain installed year-round. Each ice rink <br />requires installation of back stop netting annually which takes two full-time Public Works crewmembers <br />approximately 3 hours at each park to install. <br />Emerald Park boards are transported, installed, and removed each season by the full time Public Works <br />crew. Emerald Park board installation and removal require approximately six staff members, 6 hours for <br />transport, set up, teardown, and return transport. <br />Back stop netting installation requires two staff members approximately three hours at each park to set <br />up both hockey nets. <br />Ice Creation & Ongoing Maintenance <br />Ice creation is weather dependent. On average, it requires one staff member watering daily for <br />approximately ten consecutive days to establish safe, stable ice conditions. <br />Routine maintenance occurs every 2–3 days depending on use and weather. Maintenance includes <br />brooming, scraping surface irregularities, and watering during favorable conditions. When weather <br />conditions are not conducive to ice preservation, maintenance is postponed. <br />Snow removal and plowing of rinks occur following all snow events to maintain rink usability. <br />Water Usage <br />Ice rinks require routine watering for maintenance. Water has been recorded per season, not per park. <br />Table 2 illustrates the estimated gallons of water per season. Seasons with N/A indicate that the gallons <br />were not recorded. <br />Table 2: Water usage (gallons) <br />Season Gallons of Water <br />2016-2017 N/A <br />2017-2018 N/A <br />2018-2019 302,400 <br />9
