Second project on the East arena is the upgrades in compressor room. New compressor and glycol pumps with
new piping flows to help both the West/East arena floors to maintain better ice temperatures. The arena floors
operate at too different flows both sides will pull off a main glycol loop east floor will require a lower temp then the

15, 04. The West arena wiil open for the ice season on Sunday October 10, 04. If you need more info or would

We are also working with Suzi McNalnara on regular cable informational programs on the parks.
This has been an ongoing program, but we are continuing to improve and expand it for the benefit
of citizells in Hastings.
Pioneer Park is 'wllere much of our crew has focused recently. The first phase of ilnprO"Velnents is
the construction of the permanent- hoekey rink.. Wark is completed to prepare for the C011tract
installation of boards, fence and lighting. All work is going to be completed in ad"vance of the
skating season. We also just cOlnpIeted the rebuilding of the baseball field. This included pitching
mound rebuild, aeration, seeding and feliilizillg.
The b.aseball field at \1 eteral1's Atllletic Complex \vas also given the once o\rer.
We have been able to overseed Inany of the parks ~lhere the turf is ill need. Tilning tllis for the
season that will give us best results. Our fall V\leed control program and feltilizing is also started.
These tasks take about 5-6 '\veeks to complete.
()
Finally the project that is going on that \~ill make a big iU1pact on our Park Systenl is the trail
cOlmection under Vermillion Street at the River Bridge. Contractors have worked ,vith the City
Engineering Depalilne11t of the project, but trail users have already begun el1joying the great
additiol1.
