MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 2, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />9. COST FOR DONATION OF EQUIPMENT <br />Meyer stated it is unlikely the cost of equipment has gone up since the last meeting so the Park <br />Commission will not need to discuss this item further. <br />10. OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION <br />Meyer indicated he recently drove by the Excelsior brewery and that they have some unique bike racks <br />that take up very little space. Meyer encouraged the commissioners to take pictures of any unique items <br />they might run into. <br />Pesek noted Orono has the highest market value of anyone in the west metro area in 2005 but that <br />Orono's property taxes are the lowest percentage. Pesek stated in his view the City has a lot of resources <br />to tap into. <br />Meyer stated he also took pictures of some unique informational signs or boards that the Park <br />Commission could consider for their parks. <br />Edwards displayed pictures of signs from Mound, Lake Minnetonka, and Wayzata. <br />Meyer stated the signs are made with a type of plastic material so they are weatherproof. Meyer stated <br />they are also easy to read and sharp looking. Meyer indicated he would prefer this type of sign rather <br />than the box with the paper insert since the paper always shrivels and fades after a while. Meyer <br />indicated he will call somebody at Wayzata Public Works and see if he can obtain the name of their <br />vendor. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Brenda Johnson moved, Pesek seconded, to adjourn the Orono Park Commission meeting at 8:38 <br />p.m. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />ATTEST: <br />Page 12 of 12 <br />
