MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, November 3, 2014 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />12. PARK COMMISSION PROTOCOLS <br />Meyers noted the Park Commission has already discussed this and that they are standard protocols for a <br />meeting. Meyers requested the park commissioners notify Staff or himself if they are not going to be able <br />to attend a meeting. <br />13. PARK TOURS <br />Meyers noted the Park Commission needs to have comments compiled for Saga Hill, Chevy Chase, <br />Highwood, and Carman. <br />Pesek noted they also did not tour Lowry Hills. <br />Meyers stated some of the commissioners could compile a report on Casco, Highwood, Chevy Chase, and <br />Saga Hills, and Lowry Woods. <br />Pesek stated he would be willing to do a report on all of them. <br />Meyers indicated he would like to tour the parks with Commissioner Pesek. <br />Bryce Johnson and Brenda indicated they would also like to go. <br />14. 2015 GOALS <br />Meyers displayed pictures of an Eagle Scout project completed in Excelsior by their water tower. Meyers <br />noted the work completed included erecting wooden sections along the cyclone fence and constructing <br />some nice planters and a sign. Meyers stated the project made the area look a lot less industrial. <br />Meyers noted Orono has a similar park to the one in Excelsior and that they could bolt on 8 -foot cedar <br />wood sections and build some planter boxes. Meyers stated in his view that would be a simple, fast and <br />economical fix. <br />Brenda Johnson asked if the park is called something else other than Water Tower Park. <br />Meyers indicated the park is located on Livingston Street and is a little pocket park. <br />Gaffron stated it is called Livingston Tower Park and was created as part of a subdivision. <br />Meyers stated the park is connected to the bike trail on Blaine Avenue. <br />Meyers displayed pictures of Livingston Park. Meyers stated the park is about twice as big than what it <br />looks like in the pictures because the trees have not been trimmed. Meyers noted there is cell phone <br />equipment that does not have a fence around it and that it is possible to open the access panel and turn off <br />the power. <br />Meyers asked if the Public Works Director has had a chance to speak with the utility company. <br />Page 17 of 24 <br />
