COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 1993 PAGE TWO REQUEST HILLTOP WARMING HOUSE BY OPENED/RESIDENTS The Park Commission received a letter from M.J. Wesley, 4763 Upland Crest, along with a petition from neighboring residents to re-open the Hilltop Park warminghouse. According to Winson, the building has been used for storage since it was abandoned as a warminghouse approximately 10 years ago. The approximate cost to reopen the building would be $1,800 for attendants, $1,000 for park maintenance and $4,000 to install utilities, furnace and other repairs. The members felt that since there was less than a month left of skating season it would not be feasible to re-open the building, however, it would be looked at in the 1993-1994 skating season providing there is money in the budget. It was suggested that a couple of the civic organizations may be interested in contributing money towards the Hilltop Building. It was suggested that Gary Peterson proceed with the request for donations. OLD BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN Motion by Fowler, second by Peterson to nominate Bill Hollom as Chairman of the Park & Recreation Commission. Ail ayes, motion carried. HUSET PARK "OLD FASHIONED" SKATING RINK Motion by Petkoff, second by Ruettimann to eliminate all hockey playing at Huset Park "Old Fashioned" skating rink. Ail ayes, motion carried. OPEN SUNDAYS Casey reported on the large number of non-residents attending the Open Sundays at the high school. He felt that it was unfair for District #13 residents being "bumped" out of the gym and weight rooms. He requested that a motion be made to handle the problem. Motion by Grady, second by Ruettimann to limit participants on Open Sundays to District #13 residents only. Ail ayes, motion carried. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 1993 PAGE THREE PETITION TO VACATE ALLEY Winson reported that the resident at 3932 Quincy Street submitted a petition to vacate the alley to the City Council at their last meeting. A survey of the park was shown to the members and pins were marked to indicate the park property. The alley in question was outside park property so if the public alley was vacated seven feet would revert to the owner of the property and seven feet to the city for park property. The question to the Commission was "If vacated the park could use the property - does the Park Commission have any use for the property?" After much discussion, motion by Ruettimann, second by Petkoff that the Park Commission has no problem with either keeping or selling the property, however, if the property is sold the funds should be put in the park budget. All ayes, motion carried. 1993 DONATION REQUES3/PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Winson submitted a list of items that they felt met the criteria for the Boosters. The list including playground equipment totaled $65,000. It was suggested that Winson attend the next finance meeting of the Boosters to submit the request. REPORTS Recreation: Casey introduced John Herbert, Youth Program Coordinator, to the members. The Grand Opening of the "Old Fashioned" skating rink on January 24, 1993 was a success. Tomorrow nite, the Coach's Appreciation Dinner will be held at Murzyn Hall and all members are invited.

The Toastmasters donated $100 in appreciation to the Recreation Department. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION JANUARY 27, 1993 PAGE FOUR Parks: Winson reported that the skating rinks and the attendents were doing very well. An attendance sheet of the skating rink and hockey rinks was given to each member. They felt the numbers indicated a good turn out for skating. Plans are for the fire ring to be either filled in or covered up during the summer because of the close proximity to the ballfields. The City Council has been approached if they were interested in selling the 500 38th Ave. building. Winson reported that his recommendation is to keep the building because it is being used by parks maintenance seasonal materials, city bus, queen's float, Fire Department and that the Park Department is in dire need of the buiding. It was recommended that if the building is sold that all or part of the funds are to be used for additional enclosed storage.
