MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,March 4,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Edwards indicated the Girl Scout is working to obtain approval from her troop but that to his <br /> understanding she is still planning on doing the project this spring. <br /> Ruegemer asked whether the City has received any feedback from the Rotary Club on possibly donating <br /> some trees. <br /> Roath indicated they sent back a proposal on which of the three parks they would like trees planted at. <br /> Edwards stated feedback was provided to the Rotary Club and that they are still going through final <br /> approvals for their funding. Once that is obtained, he will likely walk Lurton and Saga Parks with them <br /> and place stakes where the trees could go. French Creek Preserve is a third option for some trees. The <br /> Rotary Club would like to create some tree stands with some signage explaining what type of trees they <br /> are. <br /> Roath noted the Park Commission has a number of goals it would like to achieve this year and that they <br /> will be structuring the Park Commission's work around the goals. Later in the agenda the Park <br /> Commission will go through and get updates from the subcommittee heads. As the year goes on, the <br /> chairs should plan on providing updates at the Park Commission meetings. <br /> Roath noted the Park Commission does not have any goals set for the golf course but that he hopes to sit <br /> down with Jason with the Public Works Department in March to discuss the golf course further. <br /> Edwards suggested the new commissioners take a look at the list to see if they have any particular interest <br /> in serving on any of the subcommittees. <br /> Klaaahsen indicated she has an interest in serving on the activities and events subcommittees but that she <br /> would be willing to help wherever there is a need. <br /> Casey stated he also is interested in the winter activities. <br /> Roath stated they should plan on being a part of those two subcommittees then. <br /> Ruegemer asked whether any help is needed for Bederwood since Commissioner Williams is no longer a <br /> part of that. <br /> Casey stated he would be willing to help out on that subcommittee as well. <br /> Edwards noted there are also a couple of vacancies for park leads. <br /> Roath stated the purpose of the park lead is to visit the park on a weekly basis to determine whether there <br /> are any pressing items or long-term plans they might have for that particular park. Casco Point Rink and <br /> Hackberry Park both are in need of a lead. <br /> Casey indicated he would be interested in taking Hackberry and that he could help out on Navarre Park <br /> and Crystal Bay Park. <br /> Ruegemer suggested that Casey take Crystal Bay. <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br />
