December 12th as written. Motion carried - 6/0.
MANOR PARK WARMING HOUSE /PAVILION
The Commission discussed the use of a Gelco Space Mobile Office as a temporary warming
house. Staff said Coon Rapids, Eagan and Big Lake use them. She talked to Lowell
Lubeck of Coon Rapids. He said this is the second season they have used them. They
• use one 12' x 60' and two 10' x 50', and can get 4 teams at a time in the 12' x 60'.
The City would have to provide the floor covering. The satellites would still be
necessary. Electricity would have to be run in. Lubeck said they dig out an area
and just back the trailer into it, placing it at ground level. They are very pleased
with them.
Lindstrom said that when Vogt was sending out the Request for Proposal the pavilion
was not included due to the fact that the warming house alone would cost $15,000 to
$20,000. Lindstrom said he felt that the pavilion was more important than the warming
house. He also said moving the pavilion to the new area was mentioned. He felt that
it was important to have the pavilion close to the parking area and road.
Christensen moved, Jakel seconded, to recommend to Council that an 8' x 32' mobile
office be rented for the 1989 -1990 season for a period of 3 months at the cost of
#150 a month ($450), and placed in Manor Park; that the follr be covered for protection
with something (preferably free); that Public Works be asked to build a suitable
entrance platform above ground and benches for seating; that electricity be run to
the trailer; and that necessary satellite(s) be provided. They will have the rink
attendants monitor useage, etc. for the 1989-1990 season. Motion carried - 6/0.
Andrus mentioned the shack used for a skating warming house on the Nicollet Mall.
He said it was thrown up out of 2" x 4 "'s with exposed studs, and the fanciest thing
in the whole place was a nail that held a roll of toilet paper for blowing noses.
MAYOR HAUGEN - DISCUSSION
Mayor Haugen clarified with the Park Commission that reports given at Council meetings
represent opinions of the Park Commission as a whole rather than personal opinions.
She also said if the Commission wants feedback on policy decisions or has questions
to feel free to contact any Council member.

City of Chanhassen - Ballfield Policy
Commissioner Lindstrom reported on the City of Chanhassen's policy change regarding

Manor Park - Trailer as Warming House
Brancel mentioned the flat roof on the trailer and wondered if this would create
a problem, also the fact that a "trailer" was being used.

to call the Minneapolis Park Board to see how they allow the use of temporary
• buildings.

Staff reported that the windows in the warming house have to be replaced due to
discoloration. Estimates were presented for glass and acrylic.
Jakel moved, Weatherly seconded, to go with acrylic windows. Motion carried - 6/0.
