Item number three was the Park Director's report. Steve informed
the committee that the hockey rinks and pleasure skating areas were

If the warming trend continues, the rinks would be closed until the
ice could be brought back to a safe, skatable condition.
A new pleasure skating area has been opened up at Independence
Park at the request of citizens in the area. Until the warming trend
. hit, most of the skating areas were in excellent condition and were
being used frequently.

a regular schedule. At present, fees are being collected on weekends
only. Fees were not collected during the Christmas vacation due to the
extremely cold weather.

program directly related to the size and usage of the square feet is
being developed by Zack Johnson Company architects.
