Va&'e
Item, 6.d, Removal of HotkeY,Hoards at hal rias Lame Xlementfiry School.
Two years ago the Commission authotized closing the wanting house at
Pilgr vn l,a0e Park School site;,. This was brought about because two new
hockey rinks and a shelter, auilding were constructed one block away at
Plymouth Junior High. The deciding factor was a 000 heater in the
Pilgrim Lane warming house needed to be replaced at that time, 'It was
determined that we would phase this complex out over the course of a
cot ple of years, For the last two winters, we have continued to maintain
two skating rinks at this: location,. a, pleasure rink and a hockey rink., The
warming house attendant at Plymouth Junior Higlt, each night on his way
to and from work, want .o this site and turned the lighte on at the hockey
rink, and then proceeded, to his work duties dt Plymouth Junior High.
The condition of the hockey beards has ttow deteriorated to the point where
we consider them quite unsafe,: olid like the heater, would require extensive
repair and maintenance at this time. r am, therefore, recommending that
we rethove the Jockey boards lout cocitinuo to maintain the large, sheet of
Joe at this location under, the lights.
