MEMO:
TO: Parks & Recreation Commission Members
FROM: Robert J. Frates, Parks & Recreation Director
DATE: October 3, 2019
RE: Kenai Multi-Purpose Facility Improvements
Purpose of this memorandum is to advise you that the department is looking at a couple simple
improvements for the ice rink. If you have particular suggestions for color and/or type material,
please be prepared to discuss at the October 3, 2019 meeting.
1. The existing blue tarps on the exterior of the building (see attachment) are reaching
their life expectancy. We are proposing going with a solid vinyl material in red.
2. The inside of the facility needs some décor. We are proposing three (3) vinyl banners
measuring approximately 6’x10’ each depicting a skater (see attachment). These would
be suspended from the rafters opposite of the spectator area.
Additionally, staff will be running speaker wire from the scorebox to the spectator area and
mounting additional speakers for improved acoustics.
