1. How does the city determine when to shut rinks down?
well, after they run out of the money in the budget for running expenses
2. How do you think the city should determine when to close the rinks?
once it's too warm for the ice to stay good
3. What do you think about the rinks closing so early when it is still cold out?
i don't care, i got enough ice time
4. How could the city get money to fund the rinks for a longer time?
i think we need to get out of the recession first
5. As a rink attendant would you be willing to work a longer skating season and why?
Probably not. I get sick of it since I have to work almost everyday once the college kids leave after winter break.

1. do you think picking a predetermining date is the best way to decide the closing time, and why?
no because you cant tell what the weather will be like 3 weeks in advance
2. How do you think the city should determine when to close the rinks?
I think they should go by the attendance. if people are still going to play hockey the rinks should stay open
3. What do you think about the rinks closing so early when it is still cold out?
I think it crap, there is no reason to close them when the ice is still skatable
4. How could the city get money to fund the rinks for a longer time?
The city has money, its our taxes. Where are those going?
5. should the city give up on the ice right when it gets too warm, or should they wait a couple days to see if cold weather is gone for the season.
they should use the baseball 3 strike system. if there is three instances where the rinks need to be closed due to weather than it is acceptable to close them.

Mark-
1. How do you think the city should determine when to close the rinks?
When the ice is too soft to skate on
2. What do you think about the rinks closing so early when it is still cold out?
I am pissed off about it.
3.do you think picking a predetermining date is the best way to decide the closing time?
no because the chances are that in February when they close the rinks normally, the temperature will still be cold enough
4. How could the city get money to fund the rinks for a longer time?
They could resurface the ice every other day instead of every day to cut back on expenses.
5. do you think people that use the rinks would be willing to donate money to keep the rinks open longer and why?
I think some people would donate, but not enough money would be generated to make a difference.
