should the council have questions pertaining to these improvements. Mr. Horn will also have
a preliminary set of plans in his possession should council members be interested in viewing

It is assumed that the existing lighting facilities on the site are adequate and
that no additional lighting improvements will be required.

the parking lot to the south and patching /overlay improvements for the existing
parking lot and driveway connection to Pleasant View Road.

The exciting thing about this project is that the rinks offer the public 8 to 9 months of
t recreation. By incorporating an asphalt surface for inline skating, the skating season triples.
