Discussion on Warmino House/Handke Pit <br /> <br />Phil Hals indicated the old stone warming house at the Handke Pit is difficult to <br />heat and maintain. Phil proposed some type of mobile field house (on wheels) <br />be researched, since the school district is not interested in replacing the warming <br />house and does not want a permanent structure on the site. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Park and Recreation Commissioners for the Street/Park <br />Superintendent to look at options for a mobile warming house.

In addition, <br />Chair Anderson indicated the County Board recently voted to provide joint <br />funding of a detached trail from County Road 77 to 32 (Proctor to Meadowvale). <br />Chair Anderson felt a strong message should be sent by the Park and Recreation <br />Commission to the City Council to support this project.
