MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,October 22,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> the day,which left no room for other parking. Seals stated she usually does not see trailers for bikes but <br /> that she does see trailers for snowmobiles at Bederwood, and as long as the snowmobile trailers can still <br /> park there in the winter, she is fine with the parking restriction. <br /> Walsh stated the sign for no boat trailers is more specific and would allow people to park other trailers <br /> there. <br /> Seals stated Bayside is also quite narrow and having trailers parked in the area would make it more <br /> difficult for people to turn the corner. <br /> Printup asked whether the police chief recommended the no parking be extended to Bederwood since <br /> people would likely park down there if Stubbs Bay is restricted. <br /> Seals stated to her knowledge that is why it was extended. <br /> Crosby stated he would accept the police chiefs recommendation. <br /> Printup noted it is not uncommon in Orono to have no parking posted for boat trailers on various streets <br /> or county roads. <br /> There was no public comment relating to this item. <br /> Seals moved, Crosby seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6912,a Resolution Prohibiting Boat <br /> Trailer Parking on Stubbs Bay Road South and Within the Bederwood Park Parking Lot. VOTE: <br /> Ayes 4,Nays 0. <br /> 9. APPLICATION FOR HENNEPIN COUNTY SPORTS FACILITY GRANT FOR <br /> BEDERWOOD SPORTS FIELDS—RESOLUTION NO. 6913 <br /> Edwards stated the Orono Park Commission has been working on a plan for upgrades to Bederwood Park <br /> by providing some sports field amenities. A grant is available through the Hennepin County Sports <br /> Association for youth sports which could cover up to half the cost of those improvements. The <br /> submission deadline is November 5 and the results will come out in December. <br /> Currently the Park Commission is projecting a cost of around$423,000 for the improvements and the <br /> grant would cover half of that. <br /> Brian Roath, Park Commissioner, stated one of the Park Commission's duties is to provide for the <br /> availability of sports fields in the community. With a lot of the changes that are happening on the school <br /> campus with their fields,the Park Commission considered over the past year what the City can do to help <br /> the situation. The Park Commission did reach out to the youth soccer, lacrosse, football and baseball <br /> associations and heard that there is a growing need for additional fields in the community,particularly <br /> soccer fields. <br /> Bederwood is a park that can accommodate that additional demand and so the Park Commission put <br /> together this grant proposal. The Park Commission is asking for a resolution to submit the grant <br /> application, and if the money is received, it would be dependent upon the City be willing to move forward <br /> with the plan. <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
