Skating

[donell@moscow.com (Don Roskovich)]

I am in total agreement with Lois Melina.  The kids have worked very hard
for their skatepark and their efforts need to be recognized.  We need to
have the bids in and the work started as soon as possible this spring.  The
kids should not have to wait another summer for their park.  Then, when the
skatepark is a reality, maybe then the Palouse Ice Rink Association can
organize their car washes, bake sales and spaghetti feeds for fund raising.

Before the City rushes in to spend $150,000. for a chiller and a Zamboni,it
should be investigated as to whether spare parts are readily available for
any repairs that might come up on this used equipment. Is there a log that
would give a history of maintenance and repairs already made by the Ice
Arena in Coeur d'Alene? 

$90,000 to $200,000 seems like an unrealistic amount for a building that
could be utilized for lessons, competitions, hockey games and public use.
