Eof <br /> l - _ Request for Action <br /> River <br /> To Item Number <br /> Parks and Recreation Commission 5.2 <br /> Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> Action Item December 12,2018 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 for the 2019-20 season. <br /> Approve,by motion, an outdoor high school regulation ice rink at Spectrum High School. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> Staff has worked with Spectrum High School staff since the idea of an outdoor rink was first discussed <br /> with the Commission last March. Spectrum proposes major investments for a rink site,including lighting <br /> and a new parking lot-if the city provides outdoor high school regulation dasher boards. <br /> Spectrum's offer includes use of the warming house with heated restrooms - and parking lot ice/snow <br /> removal. In turn,the city would flood the rink and provide warming house attendants. This could be <br /> possible with little or no additional costs to the city if the city no longer maintains the ice rinks at Lion <br /> 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. The city is no longer maintaining a warming house at Lion John <br /> Weicht Park.The costs to maintain the rinks this past season, except for the warming house rental,were <br /> about$8,000 per rink. <br /> If the Parks and Recreation Commission recommends approval of a rink at Spectrum, staff would need <br /> to further define capital costs and a draft agreement, outlining partner responsibilities,before presenting <br /> this to City Council. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> The costs for an outdoor regular high school rink boards is in the range of$12,000 to $21,000 depending <br /> on materials. Staff would need to explore funding options to purchase the boards. <br /> Attachments <br /> • March 14,2018, Staff Report <br /> • Outdoor Ice Rink Location at Spectrum (provided by Spectrum) <br /> • Spectrum High School Athletic Complex Aerial Views <br /> 1-/ / ESE . iv <br /> INATURE <br />
