6 � MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL v MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 9, 1995 (Park Commission Comments - Continued) • Park Commissioner Susan Wilson reported that the Commission was reviewing the natural areas owned by the City. It is the Commission's wish to make these areas user friendly and accessible. The Highwood Nature Trail on CoRd 19 is being upgraded to include a parking lot, trailhead sign, and picnic table. The parking area will be a small crescent- shaped size for 3-4 cars with the ability for bus access for unloading passengers. At present, there is no access or shoulder on the road. Council members received a park plan from 1971, designed by Tim Gilbert, the naturalist. This trail is in keeping with the present plan now under consideration. The trail area was purchased for $14,000. The cost of the upgrades is estimated to be between $5,000 and $6,000. The Park Commission will present their plan and costs to the Council at an upcoming meeting. Callahan directed City Administrator to post notices for the Park Commission vacancy. Callahan also noted that as normal terms end relatively soon, Staff should contact those Commissioners to see if they are interested in continuing to serve on the commission. Council members were agreeable to this plan. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Dale Lindquist, represented the Planning Commission. There were no comments at this is time.
