MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, November 3, 2014 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Meyers asked if Bryce Johnson would be interested in partnering with Commissioner Lindahl on the <br />donation policy. <br />Bryce Johnson indicated he would be. <br />Meyers stated he would like to see some firm direction on that in the near future. <br />6. HANDICAP PORT -A -POTTIES <br />Meyers asked if the handicap port -a -potties will be placed back at some of the main parks. <br />Gaffron stated the City Council has said that installation of handicap port -a -potties would be considered <br />for installation at Hackberry and Navarre in 2015. The City Council will be reviewing that issue next <br />year and that actual cost would need to be taken into account. <br />Berg asked about Summit Beach. Berg noted there was a port -a -potty there at one time that burned down. <br />Meyers stated it is not a handicap one. <br />Gaffron stated the handicap port -a -potties are only being discussed for Hackberry and Navarre. The rest <br />of the parks will have the same as last year. <br />Pesek asked how many places the City currently has port -a -potties. <br />Meyers indicated it would be Crystal Bay, Bederwood, Hackberry, and Navarre. Meyers stated he is not <br />sure whether all the parks have them but that most of the active parks have them. Meyers stated the port - <br />a -potty at Crystal Bay is somewhat hidden and does not have a surround around and should be in a more <br />prominent location. <br />Berg stated Summit Beach had two at one time, a regular one and a handicap one. <br />The Park Commission took no formal action on this item. <br />7. MEETING SCHEDULE <br />Meyers asked if the 2015 meeting schedule has been prepared yet <br />Gaffron stated a meeting schedule will be developed at the beginning of the year, with meetings currently <br />planned for January, March, May, July, September, and November. <br />Pesek stated the minutes reflect that the Park Commission discussed having monthly meetings <br />Meyers stated the Park Commission did not vote on it since there were very few park commissioners at <br />the time and that they wanted to wait until more people were appointed. Meyers indicated the Park <br />Commission could either meet monthly or simply call a special meeting whenever necessary. <br />Pesek noted participation goes down if there are not regularly scheduled meetings and that the meetings <br />could be scheduled but then canceled if there was nothing to discuss. <br />Page 10 of 24 <br />
