MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
Cathcart Rink - Minnetonka Youth Hockey Association is not using Cathcart
Rink this year. Commissioner Carl suggested cutting down on attendant time
and hooking up a P.A. system to play music for family and open skating.
Commission discussed noise factor. Commissioner Lindstrom said the noise
problem isn't as big a problem _in` the winter. Commission discussed keeping
the music noise level down.
Con Schmid moved, Carol Butterfield seconded, to have Commissioners Carl and
Jakel organize a family skating program. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioner Carl volunteered the use of his P.A. system, asking that some-
one be responsible for it. After more discussion, considering how close to
the skating season it now is:
Carol Butterfield moved, Con Schmid seconded, to have family and open
musical skating on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM and
Sunday afternoons from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on the Cathcart Hockey Rink.
Motion carried. 5 ayes - 1 abstain (Commissioner Lindstrom later said he
would like to state why he did not vote for the motion. He feels that the
effort should be put into improving the free skating rinks, providing
lighting, enlarging them, improving the quality of the ice, etc.)
• Commissioners agreed with Commissioner Lindstrom in regard to improving the
free skating rinks. He will talk to Public Works Director Zdrazil and see
what can be done along these lines.
Staff will place articles in the newsletter and newspaper.
Helmets - Commission discussed problems with enforcement of helmet rules
and decided to include rule from Ord No.-140, Sec 2., Subd 5C:

for the purpose of protecting individuals while playing hockey ", in the
articles to be published.

Mari Kooi and Planner Brad Nielsen walked the property on Monday, November 25,
