MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, November 5, 2018 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />change is to raise the golf cart fee to $18. The area average cart rate is $18. Edwards noted the City <br />currently rents the golf carts from another entity. <br />Meyers asked how much the City receives from each rental. <br />Edwards indicated the City pays approximately $1,400 to $1,500 per month for the rentals and that he <br />does not know how much the City makes over and above that but that the City does make some money <br />from the golf cart rentals. <br />Roath asked why the City has to lock in the rates for the entire year. <br />Edwards stated any increase in fees would need to go before the City Council for the year, which <br />typically occurs in November and takes effect in January. The Park Commission, however, is not <br />precluded from raising the fees during the year but it would take City Council approval. <br />Carter asked if the canoe racks get used. <br />Edwards indicated to his knowledge they are approximately half full. <br />Meyers suggested including the canoe rack rental in the newsletter. <br />Roath noted the Park Commission has previously discussed proration of fees for the dog park and asked if <br />that is still the case. <br />Meyers stated the Park Commission discussed that and decided that the fee would be prorated as of <br />August 1. Meyers stated in his view it is a fair fee. <br />Edwards noted on August 1 the pass decreases by 50 percent and then commencing on November 1 the <br />City starts selling passes for the following year. <br />Meyers asked how much money the dog park has raised. <br />Edwards stated to his knowledge it was around $32,000. <br />Edwards indicated he will take the proposed changes to the fee schedule to the City Council for their <br />approval. <br />It was the consensus of the Park Commission that the recommended changes are acceptable. <br />4. CRYSTAL BAY PARK ICE RINK <br />Meyers noted this ite►n was discussed at a City Council work session and that they felt the Crystal Bay <br />park could use an ice rink. Meyers noted this proposal has not had a public hearing prior to tonight. <br />Edwards reported at the October 22 City Council work session, the City Council provided guidance for <br />the installation of an ice rink at Crystal Bay Park. "file intent was for an ice rink to be installed in time for <br />the 2018-2019 winter season. An ice rink has been shown on a previous park plan for the past ten years. <br />Page 2 of 9 <br />
