Since the Association has historically be given a discount for ice rental, Chairman Druker is concerned that imposing such a great increase in one year will prove to be a hardship. Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting June 8, 2010 - Page 6 2010-2011 HOMMOCKS PARK ICE RINK ADMISSION & ICE RENTAL FEES CONTINUED: The Commission agrees but decided to increase the fee, however it may be reconsidered if the Mamaroneck Youth Hockey Association decides to appeal. On a motion by Commissioner Morello, seconded by Commissioner Plansky, the Commission unanimously approved a twenty five cent increase to all daily admission fees to the Hommocks Park Ice Rink and set the hourly ice rental rate at $400 for all users. REQUEST FROM BADGER SWIM CLUB: The Badger Swim Club has completed their rental period at the Hommocks Pool and has expressed an interest in continuing next year. Ms. Fisher recommended that the agreement be extended with a $10 per hour rental fee increase. On a motion by Commissioner Plansky, seconded by Commissioner Morello the Commission unanimously approved the continuation of the agreement with the Badger Swim Club at an hourly rate of$60. NOT ON THE AGENDA: Request From the Mamaroneck School District: Due to the loss of Memorial Field as it is being renovated this fall, the School District has requested that, once again this year, the late season maintenance of the Carpino- Steffens Fields be waived. Ms. Fisher is concerned that the fields are being overused and are in need of a period of rest. Chairman Druker proposed that the late season maintenance be waived this year as an accommodation and at the conclusion of the season the fields be closed for the necessary period of rest. The School District would then have to accommodate the Larchmont Junior School League and all other users during this closure period. On a motion by Commissioner Plansky, seconded by Commissioner Paonessa, the Commission unanimously decided to waive the late summer maintenance for the Carpino-Steffens Fields at the end of which the fields will then be closed for a prolonged period of rest. Hommocks Park Ice Rink Feasibility Study: Since the Commission has had time to review the Hommocks Park Ice Rink Feasibility Study, Ms Fisher inquired if they had a preference as to which ice making system should be pursued. The industrial system provides for a longer life expectancy, additional storage for both the rink and camp and provides for a snow melting pit so that the Zamboni doesn't have to travel outside to dump the ice scrapings. Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes Page7 - June8, 2010 Hommocks Feasibility Study Continued: The commercial system is less expensive but in the long run will have to be replaced sooner. The Commissioners unanimously endorsed the industrial plan over the less expensive commercial one with the following resolution. RESOLVED that the Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Commission fully endorses the purchase of the industrial system option for upgrades to the Hommocks Park Ice Rink, as stated in the Hommocks Park Ice Rink Feasibility Study conducted by Ward Associates and encourages the Town Board to authorize this expense over the less costly commercial option. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Commission, on a motion by Commissioner Plansky, seconded by Commissioner Paonessa the meeting adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
