RE: Winter Recreation Program
City staff has moved forward with the development of this year’s winter recreational
program with the understanding that the program will need to be adapted or potentially
canceled due to the pandemic.
Skating Instructor Katy Herman has indicated her willingness to continue the program for
the 2021 season. It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion for her
appointment and to approve moving forward with offering the 2021 Learn to Skate
Program. She understands the current curcumstances and the possibility that the program
may need to canceled if State of Minnesota requirements prohibit activities related to this
instruction. The City will offer full refunds for registered participants who experience
cancelations of courses.
Given the changing nature of conditions staff is developing program rules and proceedures
on an ongoing basis. However, the rules and proceedures are expected to include:.
• Consent Letter with Indemdication
• Parents will be required to provide all transportation
• A parent must remain on site so children can warm up in a car as needed,
• Children must wear face coverings at all times
• All families must stay flexible to understand that cancellations with full refunds are
possible at the last minute.
Ms. Herman has been in contact with parents of past participants and is confident that Learn
to Skate classes would be successful in this season even with these and other stipulations.
Please let myself or Bee know if you have any questions.
