MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br />Monday, January 7, 2018 <br />6:30 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 6 of 9 <br /> <br />Berg commented it is probably not necessary, then, for her and Julie to be on the subcommittee. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated he will remove the Big Island subcommittee and will put Rick Carter down as the <br />liaison. <br /> <br />Roath stated there is work to be done at Bederwood and that a subcommittee is needed for that as well as <br />East Long Lake. Work on East Long Lake is a 2020 project but there will be a lot of planning and grant <br />requests that will occur in 2019. <br /> <br />Edwards reported grants are being put together for Big Island and East Long Lake Trail. The grants are <br />good for 24 months and are being put together based on the master plan that was approved last year. The <br />Bederwood grant was approved. Edwards stated he will be taking an engineering proposal to the City <br />Council at the end of January, and if that is approved, the Bederwood committee will need to get together <br />to discuss the plan. <br /> <br />Roath asked whether there should be a subcommittee for ice rinks. <br /> <br />Edwards stated Rick Meyers is interested in doing that. <br /> <br />Berg asked whether both of the rinks will be included in that. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated they will be. Edwards stated the Public Works Department has not been able to get <br />good ice to freeze on the rink so far due to the weather. <br /> <br />Roath noted there is an open spot on Bederwood since Natalie is not staying on the Park Commission and <br />that he can be removed from East Long Lake Trail. Roath asked whether Jan and Julie would like to stay <br />on the East Long Lake Trail subcommittee. <br /> <br />Johnson stated what he has heard from Rick Meyers is that he is interested in being on the East Long <br />Lake Trail subcommittee as well. <br /> <br />Johnson commented he is happy to stay on the Lurton Dog Park subcommittee along with Rick Meyers. <br /> <br />Ruegemer stated she is also willing to help out with Lurton. <br /> <br />Roath indicated he will leave Beth on there for now and that they can verify whether she is still interested. <br />Roath noted currently on the Trails subcommittee is Rick Carter, Chair; Julie Ruegemer; Bryce Johnson; <br />and Beth Davis. <br /> <br />Roath stated he will be the chair for Bederwood, Jan can be the chair on East Long Lake, and the ice rinks <br />will be Rick Meyers. Roath stated the vacancy on the ice rinks subcommittee can be filled by one of the <br />new commissioners. <br /> <br />Jan and Julie indicated they would be interested in serving on the Events subcommittee and that they can <br />act as co-chairs. <br /> <br />Roath stated there should probably be a third person on that subcommittee. <br />
