<br />CASE ~ <br /> <br />REVIEW 2006 - 2007 SKATING SEASON <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The purpose of this case is to review the past winters' skating season and to address how <br />this activity relates to other winter maintenance activities like snow removaL As the <br />Committee may be aware, each December when the weather turns cold enough, staff <br />begins flooding the ice rinks 'round-the-clock' with the goal of opening our primary <br />skating facilities the Friday that begins winter break for the school districts. The season <br />typically goes from mid December through mid-February. <br /> <br />This past winter, in addition to the facilities at Central Park and Ramsey Elementary; <br />there was also ice made at Rivers Bend and Bear Parks. Rink Attendants logged 2,571 <br />visitors at Central Park and 2,268 at the School, with the season running from December <br />22nd, to February 28th. The numbers of users and the amount of days closed due to <br />unfavorable weather were very similar to past years. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Staff will present additional detail and respond to questions at the meeting. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />No action required <br /> <br />PW: 04/17/07 <br />
