All activities have strict capacity limits and safety practices to remain in compliance. Multipurpose Facility Naming Rights and Catering Services Management Agreement The Furniture and Things Community Event Center exterior building logo will likely be installed within the next six weeks. The logo was placed on the rinks. On January 4, Council approved an agreement with Serrano Brother Catering as our latest facility partner. The Serrano Brothers Café will provide a broad range of concession options for visitors and be our exclusive caterer. This agreement is for seven years with a management fee structure of $5,000 in year one, $10,000 in year two, and $15,000 for years three trough seven. The city will also receive 12% of concession net revenue and 6.5% of catering sales in the facility. Hillside Park Improvements Michael and Tim Sevcik met with Hillside Park Steward and MORC Representative Graydon Betts on December 3 to discuss 2021 improvement plans for the mountain bike trails. We are looking to improve trails maintenance and potential new features built by MORC volunteers. Graydon will submit the Hillside Project Proposal Form that describes the proposed rails features before the work begins. Woodland Trails Regional Park We have had some busy days during the recent holidays at Woodland Trails Regional Park with a lot of families and folks anxious to get out and play in the snow. Dave Anderson reported most of the ski and winter walking trails are in very good shape, though there are some windblown spots. The volunteer groomers put in a lot of time with a crew out the evening of the 23rd, the morning of the 24th, during the day on the 25th, the evening of the 25, the morning of the 27th, and after the snow this week. The two new trail sections are both getting very favorable reviews. Outdoor Ice Rinks Staff was able to get the two rinks at Handke open before January 1. The first weekend of the new year witnessed hundreds of ice skaters on the Handke rinks. Staff is working on the Spectrum rink which has been challenging as the ice does not survive the warmer temps and the sun angles at this rink location. Unfortunately, it is virtually back to bare ground and the edges around the boards have lost any frost they had a few weeks ago. Without colder weather, we cannot build ice there and the 7-day forecast showing temps around freezing will continue to present a challenge. The warming house at both locations will stay closed during the winter season due to the Governor’s Executive Orders and the challenges with social distancing. Woodland Trails Naming Contest City Council approved the Woodland Trails Regional Park amenity names. Glacier Ridge Nature Play Area for the nature playground and Woodlands Archery Range. The winning submission will be invited to a ribbon cutting grand opening of the amenities this Spring of 2021.
