Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown City Park Board has approved raising the Skating rates at Wilson Arena.
The increase affects the local hockey and figure skating groups practice by $5.
Since 2010 the rates have been $45 per hour during prime time (October through March) and $40 for non-prime time.
The rates go up this year to $50 and $45, respectively, to help offset the rising costs of utilities.
The Park Board approved giving JamestownCity Forester Doug Wiles permission to to pursue grant funding and a cost-share program with the city to build a gravel-bedded tree nursery.
The trees would be used to populate local parks and boulevards, and some may be used to replace trees at Hillcrest Golf Course, where the nursery would be located.
