OLD BUSINESS CROSSCHECKING POLICY FOR SKATING SEASON Salsbury explained the cutting of the warminghouse hours to the Board. According to studies, the attendance from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. is so slight that closing the rinks one hour earlier seems favorable. The Board agreed. It was'also brought to the attention of the Board members that there will be a "temperature guideline" to follow for opening and closing of rinks this year. Should the outdoor temperature fall to or below -5° Fahrenheit, or the wind chill factor fall to or below -20° Fahrenheit, the buildings will be closed. There will be signs posted at the parks noting this information. If there is a "borderline" day that meets the temperature designated for closing, and the weather seems favorable for skating, the decision to either remain open or to close will be made by the Park Superintendent and the Public Works Director. BICYCLE PREVENTION FENCES - SULLIVAN LAKE PARK Salsbury explained to the Board that this subject was initiated by the City Council during the beginning construction phases on the park. The fence suggested would be an offset type structure consisting of two panels being jogged to create a '~maze" type of opening for the pedestrians to pass through. This type of fencing would eliminate bicycles and/or motor- cycles from riding the pathways. This might prove to be an expensive project since the fencing would have to extend far enough on both sides of the pathway to deter the cyclists from simply driving around the fences. After discussion by the Board, it was agreed to ]et one season go by and see if a problem develops. If it does, the fencing will be discussed at that time.

REPORTS PARK BOARD REPRESENTATIVE TO RECREATION COMMISSION With Melin absent from meeting, there is nothing to report. DEPARTMENT REPORT The subject of the property at Circle Terrace (from last month's meeting) was discussed by the City Council. They suggested a "land swap" with the property owner. The City could trade their land (the one-half of the driveway), for a portion of the lot bordering the park (in the backyard). If there is enough land to make an even trade, it will be taken care of in that manner. If it proves to be a loss for the City~ the possibility~of a 99-year lease can always be looked into. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK BOARD MEETING NOVEMBER 17, 1982 DEPARTMENT REPORT (CONT.) * The playground equipment has arrived, and it is being constructed at Mathaire. Opening procedures for the rinks have begun. The ice machine from the liquor store wi]] be moved to JPM Hall and set up in the porch where the large freezer stands. The freezer in turn, will be moved and stored in case of future need. Plumbing adjustments will have to be made. Plans for that additional work are being discussed at present, tt should be a winter project. The lighting at LaBelle has been put in. There still needs to be some sodding work done, but it will probably have to wait until conditions for that type of work are more favorable. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Starcevic, seconded by Fowler to adjourn. All ayes, motion carried.
