MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, July 2, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Johnson noted the City planted a pollinator garden at Livingston three years ago and that it would be an <br />indicator as to how it will look after three years. Johnson stated when that area was planted, the <br />landscaper said that there is a three-year cycle, stated that the first year the plants weep, the second year <br />they creep, and the third year they leap. <br />A lady in the audience stated one of the girls here tonight and other members of their troop were the one <br />who helped plant the garden at Livingston. <br />Green noted most of the information on the plants was obtained from the master gardener. <br />Meyers asked whether any signage will be erected. <br />Green stated Jason had indicated to her that he wanted it more natural. <br />Ruegemer asked when they will be planting. <br />Green stated they hope to finish it by the end of the summer. <br />Meyers commented the Seven Nations Park has not seen a lot of attention in the past few years and that it <br />is nice to see some interest in improving the park. <br />Berg stated she would be in favor of having a sign or something there that recognizes the girls. <br />Meyers stated the City Council will be advised of the projects and the money will be coming out of the <br />City's General Fund. <br />STAFF REPORTS <br />6. PUBLIC WORKS PARKS UPDATE — ADAM EDWARDS <br />Edwards provided the following Public Works update: <br />- Big Island: The dock has been installed, the park has been mowed weekly, trail maintenance has been <br />performed, and volunteer support helped perform some wood work on the visitor center. Edwards noted <br />unfortunately it rained that day so the volunteers were only able to work a half day but that they will be <br />going back on July 10 to paint the visitor center. Edwards stated it also does not seem like there is as <br />much vandalism during the summer but that it is more of a winter problem. A camera has been installed <br />on the Island. <br />- Golf course: The basement has been sealed, repairs were made on the irrigation system, a garden has <br />been planted by a volunteer, and drainage improvements have been completed. Deck installation is <br />pending as well as the fest tent area. <br />- Saga Hills: Trees have been trimmed, spot seeding performed, and buckthorn treated. Pending work <br />includes erection of signs and installation of a sitting boulder. <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />
