Bob Bird - Spoke in support of keeping the rink at the elementary
school. Bird stated the rink is used by many families in the
Woodland area. Bird suggested that if the School District
requires din the future) that the rink be moved, it be moved to
some empty lot in the Woodland vicinity.
Bird also suggested that Council investigate the building of an
outdoor cold -weather rink since the Cams Mall indoor rink
proposal was quashed. Bird stated that just a roof over an
outdoor rink is helpful to cut the wind, etc. Bird believes
strongly that a cold -weather outdoor rink could be built for
$500,000. Bird hopes that the Sears outdoor rink stays.where it
gets lots of use.
Smalley asked if there wa3 other property where the rink could be
moved. Brighton stated he did not knowe
that
hopes a hockey rink can be built, but knows mitjwilltated take somehe
time.
Every asked when the maintenance would start.
that if the weather holds, it will probably start next week.
Williams stated that the Council, after hearing the proposal for
the Carr's Mall, decided that the project would be much too
costly. The City has been very conservative over the years with
regard to the debt service. The proposal would have tripled the.
City's debt service. Had the Council approved
vote of the people would have been neededtobond. pWilliams a
encouraged the public to form an ad hoc committee to investigate
costs and ideas for an ice rink. Smalls suggested
seak
with Nate Kiel who has some thoughts about cold -weather rinks.
Smalley asked of the public present at the meeting, how many came
in support of keeping the ice rink at Sears Elementary. Thirteen
People raised their hands. There were none in o
Williams stated that it seems it is a worthwhile thingionfor the
City to do.
Bird added that an outdoor rink can be easily converted to a
cold -weather rink. Hockey tournaments could be held on cold -
weather rinks also.
Every stated that the materials and labor for the Sears
Elementary ice rink were donated. There was no money involved.

Smalley questioned whether the road maintenance issue in front of
the Russian Orthodox Church has been addressed. Brighton stated
that he met with church officials. They are designing a park for
behind the church. Indications are there will not be a problem
with the City paving the street. There may be a right-of-way or

easement problem when it goes around the corner. The Church
wants to be a good neighbor and wants to cooperate.
