Representing Staff were City <br />Administrator Dustin Rief, Public Works Director/City Engineer Adam Edwards, and Recorder Jackie <br />Young. City Council Member Victoria Seals was present. <br />Chair Meyers called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m., followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES — SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 <br />Chair Meyers requested the minutes be corrected on Page 11 to read 100' anniversary rather than 150x' <br />anniversary. <br />Ruegemer moved, Bryce Johnson seconded, to approve the September 5, 2017, minutes of the <br />Orono Park Commission as corrected. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />None <br />STAFF REPORTS <br />2. GOLF COURSE PLAN <br />Edwards noted at the last Park Commission work session they reviewed the capital improvement plan for <br />the golf course, consisting of both golf related and other recreational opportunities. Based on the <br />feedback from that meeting and the golf course subcommittee, a list of priorities was developed. At this <br />time Staff is looking for endorsement from the Park Commission on the plan and the list of priorities. <br />Also included in Staff's memo is a list of possible other golf course projects that are outside of the scope <br />of the Golf Course Plan. <br />Ruegemer asked if snow tubing would be allowed without the tow rope. <br />Edwards indicated people currently snow tube at the golf course without a tow rope but that the snow <br />tubes are currently not available at the golf course. Edwards stated if the golf course were to have snow <br />tube rentals, it would require staffing. Edwards noted before any of these programs are implemented, <br />they would be brought back before the Park Commission to review and finetune. <br />Ruegemer stated she would prioritize the trail over the tow rope. <br />Meyers stated from the feedback he has received, people are interested in the snow tubing with a tow <br />rope, and that Council Member Seals felt the City had enough trails. Meyers noted the Park Commission <br />would need to obtain the approval of the City Council to proceed with these projects and that the multi- <br />use trail does not appear to have a lot of traction at the present time. <br />Page 1 of 11 <br />
