Subject: Support of CIP - Santa Rosa Park Hockey Court Resurfacing JUN 0 8 2015
Dear City Council Members, -
I am writing to you to encourage you to support the "CIP - Santa Rosa Hockey Court resurfacing ". I have been
involved with my children's hockey programs here in the city since many years before this beautiful new court
had been built. Santa Rosa park and the hockey court endure a tremendous amount of use from hockey players
(youth and adult) almost year round, roller derby (youth and adult), basketball players, footsall players, and I
have even seen several gentlemen out there hitting a cricket ball around.
While all this use is what we like to see from city facilities and makes for a great return on investment it does
wear on the facilities. Add in the skateboarders who were ignoring the rules against using skateboards on it and
dragging their large metal rails across the surface and you can see how it has become been damaged an
worn. these damaged and worn spots create a difficult and varied surface for people moving at high speeds who
expect a consistent and smooth surface.
in summary the court at Santa Rosa Park is a great asset for many city residents, not just hockey players, and
keeping it good repair will increase the safety and enjoyment of a large cross section of city residents.
thank you,
Jason Vormbaum
