MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, November 3, 2014 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Gaffron stated it is probably not on the website at this time, but that if it is in a form the Park Commission <br />is comfortable with, it could be included on the website. Gaffron noted the inventory is not up to date and <br />is 15 years old. <br />Meyers stated in his view it was very well done and that it is a good concept. Meyers stated he likes the <br />idea of people being able to access that and have the ability to look at the maps. Meyers requested the <br />Commissioners review that to see if any updates should be done. <br />19. NEXT MEETING TOPICS <br />Meyers noted Community Development Director Andrew Mack would be a good person to talk to about <br />reaching out to the community and that Commissioner Bryce Johnson might want to speak to him about <br />polling the residents. <br />Meyers stated he was thinking if the Park Commission decided to install some kiosks, that they could <br />include more information on Navarre or the overall Orono Park system. Meyers noted the City currently <br />does not have anything that shows how the park and trail system connects. <br />Pesek stated he would encourage people to contact the Park Commission if they have any ideas about the <br />parks. <br />Meyers noted the Public Works Director will be assembling a Park Commission manual that could be <br />given to the new commissioners. <br />Bryce Johnson asked who would have the detail behind the concept and evolution of park dedication fees <br />Gaffron stated Ron Olson, the City's finance director, would have to dig through a pile of old files to <br />determine which subdivisions contributed towards that and that he does not believe there is a spreadsheet <br />that would summarize that. <br />Edwards stated the City's automated financial data only goes back seven or eight years. <br />Gaffron stated to go back to 2000 would require the finance director to go back through a number of old <br />files. <br />Bryce Johnson asked if there is an actual park fund. <br />Gaffron stated the finance director could give him a good sense of how that is all laid out. <br />Bryce Johnson stated the other dimension is that quite a few years ago there was a priority list set up for <br />use of park dedication funds and that he was wondering that has any relevance any longer and whether it <br />is annually checked. <br />Levang stated she believes that is contained in the capital improvement plan. <br />Meyers stated the other big thing is the camp on Tonkawa Road and that it would be nice for the City to <br />own it if they decide to sell. <br />Page 22 of 24 <br />
