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 Lorton 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 />
