OBA would be amenable to other uses of the ball <br />diamond (within the fenced area) and will post a schedule at <br />the field. <br />Mr. Bradley said that he had talked with the Orono School <br />District and concluded that there are no available sites on the <br />Orono School Campus that could be utilized for Little League this <br />year. The School District is willing to allow the Little League <br />to use a portion of the 50 acres purchased on Old Crystal Bay <br />Road. However a site plan must first be done for the entire 50 <br />acres, which may be done this winter. <br />Councilmember Nettles asked Mr. Bradley if he knew of the <br />number of cars generated by the Soccer League's use of Bederwood <br />Park? <br />Councilmember Peterson noted that there are 300 children in <br />the program, not 300 children using Bederwood Park. Peterson <br />said that the Orono Middle School and Hackberry Park are also <br />utilized by the Soccer League in addition to Bederwood. <br />Nettles questioned whether the Orono Community Church is a <br />viable site? <br />Mr. Bradley replied that the Park Commission was not aware <br />that the Church was an option. <br />Councilmember Peterson stated that she preferred to delay <br />discussion and voting on this matter until March 26th. <br />Councilmember Nettles stated that he will be unable to <br />attend the March 26th Council Meeting and would like to vote on <br />the matter this evening. He agreed with the Mayor that the <br />matter should either be discussed and voted on this evening, or <br />delayed entirely until March 26th. Nettles preferred that the <br />matter be voted on this evening so that the Little League would <br />know where they stand and could plan accordingly. <br />- 4 - 40 <br />
