I . Approval of Work Session Items Requiring Action. - Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract Between the City of San Leandro and Ice Unlimited, Inc. , to Operate a Temporary Holiday Ice Skating Facility in the Downtown Area (provides for temporary ice skating facility to promote downtown businesses and provide recreational activity for the community) . Council Member Perry said she is in favor of the concept because activities are needed for youth, but she would rather spend the money for permanent activities. She said this is the first opportunity the City Council has had to hear the proposal , and she still has questions, such as how security will be provided. Susan McCue, Economic Development Coordinator, discussed the hours of operation of the rink, how it would be staffed, and how security would be provided. Council Member Perry said she did not see how operation between 9 and 10 p.m. promotes business. She said she would like to see a plan for advertising, have all the businesses surveyed, and discuss staffing and liability. She said the $5/hour cost will leave members of the community out and suggested a pass or weekly rate for people who can't afford it. Ms. McCue said there was a need to balance cost with recouping revenue. Council Member Loeffler said there is a need to do something for youth. He said the proposal is risk-taking with City funds, and he would have liked more process of involvement. He said recreation activities should be more permanent.
