MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, March 2, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />6. There are different filesAocations on the website for parks, trails, open space, beaches, boat <br />launches. <br />7. Wailing routes in Orono does not work as intended. <br />8. Intended links to non -Orono sites are broken, such as Hennepin County and Baker Park. <br />9. The MAPS link lists three sub -links that when clicked, each downloads a PDF file. <br />10. The park history link is incomplete. <br />11. There are different terms used in the CMP and in various sections of the park -related website. <br />12. The Adopt -a -Park does not appear to be in use as it was updated in 2005. <br />13. The Park Commissioners should be easier to contact. There are too many steps and the e-mails <br />are not in text as well as a link. Clicking on e-mail takes a user off Orono's site and onto your <br />own e-mail system. It is also cumbersome to e-mail a joint e-mail to other commissioners. <br />14. There is not a link for "Leaving a Legacy." <br />15. There is no link to the donation policy. <br />Meyer stated he would like to see the parks listed by category, such as natural, active, etc. <br />Ruegemer stated the current website is complicated because it involves too much hunting to find what <br />you are looking for and that they could simply have a full alphabetical listing of all the parks rather than <br />organizing them by who manages them <br />Ruegemer and Johnson presented the following suggestions for the City's website: <br />1. A quick link should be located in the column on the left where the Orono Golf Course is located. <br />The link should bring up a park website just as the golf course link brings up a separate web page. <br />2. Group the parks under Parks and Recreation in Orono. <br />3. Listing all parks in another format may improve the usefulness of the information. Listing all the <br />parks alphabetically with relevant information contained within the specific park would be an <br />easier to use function. <br />4. Provide an overview of an Orono park map that visually shows where all parks in Orono are <br />located. This map should be interactive with pop-up information, links to Google maps or other <br />GPS systems. All parks should link to Google Maps from the park address so that the user can <br />activate a map from their chosen location.. <br />5. The type of park and facilities should be included on the map as coded symbols and putting your <br />ctuser over the park location or the list of text on the right should link to one another. <br />6. Also have a heading labeled parks in the horizontal header. <br />Page 7 of 12 <br />
