MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday,January 5,2015 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Bryce Johnson stated that phrase might be better. <br /> Levang noted this is a draft and perhaps the Park Commission could bring back those changes in another <br /> draft that the Park Commission could vote on. <br /> Edwards noted he did include some costs on the last page of the policy. <br /> Meyers stated he is comfortable with everything that is included <br /> Johnson asked if the Park Commission would like to discuss the costs or whether that page should just be <br /> included with the park donation policy. <br /> Meyers stated a list of possible donation items would need to be park specific and that some benches may <br /> need to be fastened down. Meyers stated that might be a task that Staff would be better equipped to <br /> address. <br /> Edwards suggested all the concrete pads be removed from the donation policy with the understanding that <br /> if someone donates a bench and it requires a concrete pad that is something the City will provide with the <br /> donor simply providing the bench. <br /> Meyers noted the Park Commission has$11,000 in its budget for those types of items. <br /> Edwards stated most the benches and tables come freestanding and others come with posts that are <br /> augured into the ground. Edwards noted Lurton Park has the type of tables that are anchored into the <br /> ground. <br /> Meyers stated he would like to leave that up to the discretion of the Public Works Director. <br /> Edwards stated for each item he checked three different catalogues and went with a median price. <br /> Bryce Johnson noted the color listed for the benches is grey. <br /> Meyers stated blue is kind of the Orono color but that the color scheme depends on the park as well. <br /> Edwards stated for the donation policy he used the standard recycled lumber products that were discussed <br /> in the work session. Edwards stated grey was included since it is the color scheme of the signs and that <br /> he does have some catalogues with playground benches that have some different color schemes. <br /> Pesek asked if the City has an inventory of where the benches would be needed or whether the donor <br /> would get to choose that. <br /> Edwards stated the Park Commission could specify which park different items are desired at. <br /> Meyers stated he would like to avoid the need for back and forth communications with the donor and that <br /> he would like to make it easy for someone to donate an item. <br /> Bryce Johnson stated Staff could recommend locations that are outside of those that are listed. <br /> Page 9 of 11 <br />
