MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Tuesday, July 5, 2016 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Berg stated a thank you letter should also be sent to Patty Morris, who has been taking care of the beach <br />and hosta area at Lydiard Beach. <br />Meyers stated the City can also recognize them in the city newsletter and perhaps in the local newspaper. <br />Edwards reviewed the Parks budget to date. Currently the Park Commission has spent $40,158.09 or 37 <br />percent of their budget. Edwards noted the category for equipment parts and accessories are over and so <br />is the building/grounds maintenance supplies. Edwards indicated he will need to recategorize some of the <br />items. Remaining in the budget is $67,661.91. <br />Edwards reported the City has recently signed a contract with Sentence To Serve and that it amounts to <br />about $6,000 of work. <br />Bryce Johnson asked if someone could map Saga and Highwood. <br />Edwards stated Bolton and Menk have provided a quote for $1,600 to $1,800 to do that work. <br />Bryce Johnson stated getting those mapped would allow the trails to be depicted on the signs. <br />Meyers stated he is in favor of spending the money for that. <br />It was the consensus of the Park Commission to have Bolton & Menk map Saga Hill and Highwood Park <br />at an approximate cost of $1,800 per park. <br />Meyers noted Sandy Beach was one of this year's focus parks but that no improvements have been made <br />yet. Meyers stated he would like to focus on Lurton Park first and then perhaps shift focus to Sandy <br />Beach. <br />SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS <br />6. PARK SIGNS <br />Meyers stated he likes the sign for Livingston Tower Park the way it is. <br />Berg stated she likes the layout of the sign. <br />Bryce Johnson indicated he will send Carol the pdf and that she can tweak it if necessary. <br />Meyers requested the Park Commissioners notify Bryce of any suggestions they have regarding the sign <br />in the near future. Meyers noted the Navarre sign will also be done at the same time. <br />7. SAGA HILL PLANNING UPDATE <br />Meyers noted Brenda Johnson has submitted some notes from the work session and that he would request <br />the notes be added to the record. <br />It was the consensus of the Park Commission to add Brenda's minutes to the record. <br />Page 6 of 9 <br />
