MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday, March 4, 2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Comprehensive Plan relating to parks and recreation included the addition of East Long Lake, some <br /> descriptions for Legacy Park were clarified, the language was made more general for trail connections, <br /> and the Dakota Trail was added from the intersection and further south. <br /> Under notes,Notes I and 2 were listed as priorities and they seemed more like footnotes so they were <br /> moved down. Added Items 3, 4, and 5 that were felt rose to the level of a long-term Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Carter indicated they do not have to be a big hurry to approve the changes since they can be done in a <br /> couple of months and that they can discuss it further at the work session. <br /> 15. BIG ISLAND <br /> Edwards noted the historic survey is slated to begin sometime this spring. <br /> Carter stated the design for the improvements will begin if the grant is received. Painting of the building <br /> could happen in April. At this time the committee is attempting to get appropriate feedback from all <br /> interested parties and that they are hoping to bring something to the Park Commission in May or June for <br /> approval. Carter commented he feels confident that if the Park Commission and the City Council <br /> approves it that the signs will go up. <br /> Edwards stated if they wait to pay for the signs and installation,the City can legitimately use that as part <br /> of their cost share, but it can only be done after the grant is received in order to be counted. <br /> 16. GOLF COURSE <br /> This item was not discussed. <br /> COMMISSIONERS REPORT <br /> 17. COMMISSIONERS' UPDATES <br /> Berg reported someone attempted to break the gate at Lydiard Beach. <br /> Edwards indicated someone hooked something up to the gate and yanked it. It likely was someone who <br /> wanted to get their fish house out on the ice. <br /> Berg stated the gate has been fixed. <br /> Edwards reported at Lurton Park there was an issue with the gate posts moving due to the freeze and that <br /> the Public Works Department has been spending a lot of time on the ice rinks. <br /> Edwards stated he has not heard of any motorized vehicles on Saga Hill but that there have been some <br /> reports of snowmobiles on Big Island. Edwards indicated they can probably place something to prevent <br /> access to certain areas but that the problem is the area near the dock. <br /> Carter stated access could be severely limited with half a dozen big boulders. <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />
