MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, November 3, 2014 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Edwards stated the Public Works Department does have some gravel available and that if it is less than a <br />dump truck, that would be easy to work out. Edwards stated in his view Alex is looking for a truck load <br />of gravel to be spread by hand and that the cost would be minimal and something that the City has in <br />stock currently. Edwards stated the tree trimming would not cost the City anything except time to go chip <br />the branches. <br />Meyers asked how much he would have to contribute to the project. <br />Knueppel stated he could possibly come up with some money and that there is some money in a Scout <br />account that he raised that he could perhaps withdraw from. Knueppel indicated there is approximately <br />$2,000 in there. <br />Meyers stated the portion of the project that he could contribute to financially would also need to be <br />determined. <br />Meyers stated the Park Commission could make a motion that they are in agreement with the idea of <br />doing a project at the Seven Nations Park. <br />Lindahl indicated she is confused if it is tree trimming or branch removal. <br />Meyers asked if the whole troop would be involved in this project. <br />Knueppel stated it would not be the whole troop but possibly seven to eight scouts. <br />Meyers stated the adults could operate the power tools and the scouts could carry the branches to a central <br />location so it can be hauled away by the Public Works Department. <br />Meyers moved, Bryce Johnson seconded, to recommend the City support the Eagle Scout project <br />proposed by Alex KnueppeI for the Seven Nations Park consisting of the addition of gravel to the <br />entryways, the addition of a historical sign, and branch removal, with the understanding the Boy <br />Scouts will contribute some money towards the sign. Commissioner Paul Pesek will be assigned to <br />work with Alex on the sign and Commissioner Brenda Johnson will assist him with the technology <br />aspect of the project. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />Meyers stated he would like a progress report either in writing or in person at the next meeting. <br />Berg requested Alex keep the City updated on the sign in between the meetings. <br />Edwards stated Staff will research to see if this would be considered a capital improvement, which would <br />need to be approved by the City Council. Edwards stated they would need to know the cost of the sign. <br />OLD BUSINESS <br />3. DISCUSSION ON PARK MAINTENANCE STANDARDS <br />Meyers noted the park maintenance standards were included in the Commissioners' packets and that he <br />attempted to keep the points concise.
