MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 2, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Brenda Johnson asked what the topography is like in that area. <br />Edwards stated that area is not used much and basically runs behind some cabins. <br />Ruegemer commented there will likely never be a road there. <br />Meyer asked how many acres it consists of <br />Edwards indicated he is not sure. <br />Meyer stated until he can review the area, he would not recommend removing it. <br />Levang noted the Park Commission has no jurisdiction over Big Island but that they could recommend to <br />the City Council that it be removed from the City's list of parks. <br />Berg noted Gabriel Jabbour is the custodian of Big Island. <br />Meyer stated it is listed on the City's website under the Park Commission and that perhaps that should be <br />changed. <br />Ruegemer asked who the Big Island Park is run by. <br />Levang indicated the City Council has jurisdiction over Big Island and that Gabriel Jabbour is custodian <br />of the areas that are owned by the City. <br />Meyer noted it is not currently on the Park Commission's list of assignments. Meyer stated if it is not a <br />park and the Park Commission has nothing to do with it, then perhaps it should be removed. <br />Edwards stated there are various designations for city -owned land and that the Park Commission could <br />make a recommendation that it not be classified as a park. <br />Levang stated she would concur with Edwards and that it clearly should not be under parks and not be <br />called a park. Levang stated the Park Commission could make that recommendation to the City Council. <br />Meyer moved, Pesek seconded to recommend to the City Council that they remove Pleasant View <br />Park from the Park Commission's list of parks and to eliminate the designation of park. <br />Brenda Johnson stated she has not seen the area but that she does not really agree with the way the parks <br />are divided up into different territories, such as the golf course and Big Island. Johnson stated the Park <br />Commission competes with them for money and that perhaps the City Council should look at the way <br />those are divided up. <br />Pesek asked if Pleasant View has some kind of designation. <br />Edwards stated it is designated as a city park but that the Park Commission does not have jurisdiction <br />over it. <br />Pesek stated the Park Commission should find out why that is. <br />Page 3 of 12 <br />
