Recommendation Concerning 2007/08 Ice Skating Rink Locations
The Park and Recreation Commission has been very thorough in looking at skating
rink'locations that made sense by resident population and geographic locations. The
Commission is still interested in having a skating rink in southern Chanhassen and
last year recommended that a rink be flooded at Chanhassen Hills. Last years
skating season was filled again with warm weather and the recommended rink at
Chanhassen Hills was n.ever flooded per our rink flooding policy. Staff would be in
favor of recolnmending that the Park and Recreation Commission keep the
Chanhassen Hills rink in the rotation of rinks this season. The remainder of the
rinks are placed in locations that make sense because of their service area and
locations.
RECOMMENDATION 2007108
It is staff's recommendation that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend
to the City Council to approve the following ice skating rink locations for the
2007/08 season.

2006/2007 Ice Rink Season Evaluation
This year's ice skating rink season ran from January 15, to February 22, 2006 with
roughly 4118 participants recorded. These locations included: City Center Park,
North Lotus Park, Roundhouse Park, and the Chanhassen Recreation Center.
During this period the warming houses were open a total of 34 days. Warming
houses were closed a total of 5 days due high temperatures, low temperatures, and
poor surface conditions. (See attachment I).
Upon recommendation the Chanhassen Hills neighborhood rink was scheduled to be
flooded this season. Unfortunately, unseasonable weather conditions did not allow
for suitable ice making conditions by the December 20tf.1 deadline and by policy, the
Chanhassen Hills Park rink Was not opened.
Warming house trailers were enceagain .rented for North Lotus Park andCi ty
Center Park. A differentcempany (Mobile Mini) was used this year for the
warming house trailer rentals.. By changing companies we were able to get a much
better product at a cheaper rate. The Mobile Mini trailers sit flush on the ground
and do not require .steps to gain entrance into the. structure. The inside of the trailers
are one, complete, open bay, room allowing for direct visual contact between the
rink attendant and participants. Both of these attributes contribute to greater overall
safety during the ice skating experience <and it is recommended to use the same
company next year"
Temporary and seasonaI wages came to a total of $6,325.33 with a total of 841.75
hours recorded in employee contributions. (See attachment IT).
