CENTURY CLUB - continued
Staff requested to send letters to donors, thanking them again for their
donation and telling them about the plaque.
Commission discussed the formation of a small committee to promote the Century
Club. Commissioner Schmid will talk to Steve Frazier.
SKATING RINKS
Manor Warming House - Commission discussed the request to open the warming
house and what to do about it, considering the vandalism problem that closed
it in the first place. They asked staff to invite Mrs. Randy Peterson, the
lady that made the request, to the next meeting on February 4th to discuss
the issue.
Rink Policy
What should the temperature be before the warming houses are closed?
Commissioner Jakel feels that 20 degrees below zero windchill is not
reasonable. He felt that the rinks should have been open on Friday.
(Staff closed rink due to policy temperature of 20 degrees below zero
windchill.)
Commission discussed different temperatures. Staff was waiting for an
opinion from City Health officer Greg Seifert.
Carl moved, Kooi seconded, to accept from 20 to 40 degrees below zero
windchill, according to what Dr. Greg Seifert says. 6 ayes- Lindstrom,
Kooi, Schmid, Carl, Stein and Butterfield; 1 nay - Jakel- Reason: Because
some of the "so called experts" staff talked to on Friday said it was
bad and it wasn't cold. ( Windchill was 30 below)
Helmet Rule
Commission discussed the rule requiring helmets to be worn on the hockey
rink whenever anyone is on the rink with a puck and a stick.
Staff was requested to poll surrounding cities on the following:
1. Do you have a helmet rule?
2. Why not?
3. How do you enforce it?
4. Have you had any legal action in relation to helmets?
5. Have you had any injuries?
6. At what temperature do you close your skating; rinks?
7. Do you have a rink policy?

SKATING RINKS - continued
Repairs - Commissioner Jakel reported that the boards on Cathcart Rink are
in very bad shape, full of holes and the wood is rotting.
Staff reported some things that have to be done.
Commission gave Sue Niccum their authority to have any necessary repairs
under $500 done. She is to provide the Commission with financial evidence
of work done. This will prevent excess discussion of each and every repair
at meetings.
Commission also talked to Administrator Vogt, asking that repairs relating
to park safety be given top priority. They asked staff to present Admin-
istrator Vogt with a list of all old and new requested repairs, specifying
which are safety items and which are new items.
SKATING PARTY
The Skating Party has been moved to Cathcart Rink. There will be a bonfire
with weinies and marshmellows to roast.
ADJOURNMENT
• Schmid moved, Butterfield seconded, to adjourn at 9:25 PM. Motion carried
