Council hears update on ice rink, liner purchase and donated storage; asks to budget next year
Summary
Councilmembers reviewed winter rink preparations: the city purchased a warming house liner (~$500), volunteers assembled rink materials, and Buffalo Ridge Concrete offered to donate mobile storage units. Councilmembers asked that rink costs and small material needs be included in next year's park budget.
A councilmember (S1) summarized preparations for the community ice rink and warming house. He said last year the overall cost approached $2,000 (excluding a donated liner), and that the city purchased a replacement liner this year for roughly $500. "It really worked out well. City paid for it. It's it's almost $500 just for the rider," the member said, and later noted, "I think it was $502 or something."
The member listed about $800 in additional material needs (boards, stakes, clamps) to restore the rink structure and reported Buffalo Ridge Concrete had offered to donate mobile office units to store materials in future seasons. Councilmembers agreed these expenses should be placed into next year's park budget and that a formal claim for this season's expenses would appear on the next meeting's claims listing for approval.
