Elk Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Parks and Recreation Commission 6.1 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Discussion March 14,2018 Michael Hecker,Parks and Recreation Director <br /> Item Description Reviewed by <br /> Outdoor Ice Rink at Spectrum High School Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br /> Action Requested <br /> Discussion of a potential outdoor ice rink at Spectrum High School. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> A representative from Spectrum High School will attend to discuss interest for an outdoor ice rink at the <br /> Spectrum Athletic Complex. The site includes a locker room building with utilities for a warming house <br /> and paved parking with perimeter lighting. <br /> Spectrum has offered the location and the warming house with heated restrooms,lighting the rink and <br /> maintaining the parking lot ice/snow removal. The city would flood the rink and provide warming house <br /> attendants. This could be possible with little or no additional costs to the city if the city no longer <br /> maintains the ice rinks at Lion John Weicht Park and Kliever Lake Fields Park. <br /> Currently, three skating rinks are located within neighborhood parks: Kliever Lake Fields,West Oaks <br /> Park and Riverplace Park. These rinks are smaller in size and do not contain boards for boot or stick <br /> hockey or warming house facilities; however goals are provided at each facility and snow is banked to <br /> provide a partial backstop. The cost to maintain the three neighborhood rinks this past season is $8,000 <br /> for each rink. This is the same cost for Lion John Weicht Park in addition to the warming house trailer. <br /> Hockey boards for the Spectrum location still needs to be worked out. If staff receives a consensus from <br /> the Commission to move ahead,we will continue to work on partner responsibilities. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Operational costs of operating a new rink at Spectrum and no longer operating rinks at Kliever Lake <br /> Fields Park and Lion John Weicht Park. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Outdoor Ice Rink Location at Spectrum (provided by Spectrum) <br /> • Spectrum High School Athletic Complex Aerial View <br /> • Aerial view of Spectrum and Kliever Lake Fields Park <br /> PBMEREB BY <br /> NATURE <br />
