This does not include building <br /> the rinks. <br /> Chair Anderson asked if we should cut back in the future. <br /> Mr. Hecker shared that in 2016 the neighborhood rinks did not get put up and <br /> would like to look at new options in the future. <br /> Mr. Benoit shared that it would be nice to consider making Handke Pit a destination <br /> ice rink. <br /> Chair Anderson shared that Handke Pit has a limit to how many people can use it <br /> and people will go to other rinks when it is too crowded. <br /> Mr. Hecker stated staff would bring this back for further discussion with more <br /> information. <br /> Chair Anderson stated he would like to see Lion John Weicht Park ice rink stay open <br /> along with keeping the warming house. <br /> 7.
