MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,July 1,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> Meyers stated the only thing that did not work well was the traffic flow and that they will need to look at <br /> improving that. <br /> Berg stated they will have the smaller fire truck rather than the bigger one and that they will be looking at <br /> the traffic flow. <br /> Meyers commented a bigger fire pit would be good since that was a popular place for people to hang out <br /> and that he will be speaking with the Rotary Club about that. Meyers stated they can have a meeting out <br /> there when the weather is good to try and figure out the traffic flow. <br /> Berg stated they are contemplating going out there on Wednesday, July 3. <br /> Meyers stated he also has a lot of decorations left over that could be used. <br /> 7. LURTON PARK <br /> Johnson reported he has a list of 19 people who signed up for Friends of the Park and that the Park <br /> Commission will need to decide how to proceed with that. The goal is for it to become a self-sustaining <br /> group and that they are looking to get input from them on maintenance and improvements for the park. <br /> Meyers stated he is looking for a volunteer to chair this group. <br /> Johnson stated they could be invited to join the Park Commission at a work session or a regular meeting <br /> and see if there is a volunteer interested in running it. <br /> Meyers stated in his view someone from the Park Commission should be heading up the group to help <br /> plan events and help steer the discussion. <br /> Ruegemer commented the chair should be someone who is passionate about the dog park, and that while <br /> the people they spoke to at the dog appreciation day expressed a desire to help,no one seemed willing to <br /> lead it. A Facebook group could perhaps be started,which can be used as a communication tool. <br /> Klaahsen indicated she would be willing to start a Facebook group and that she can post whenever the <br /> Park Commission is meeting. <br /> Meyers stated he is looking for a point person in the group to keep the Park Commission apprised of what <br /> is happening with the group. <br /> Klaahsen stated she could do that. <br /> Rief suggested the volunteers be invited to the next work session, but that it may be difficult for many to <br /> attend since it is at 1:00 in the afternoon. The next regular meeting of the Park Commission is September. <br /> Johnson suggested something official from the City go out to the people who signed up acknowledging <br /> the group and that he will provide the list to the City Administrator. <br /> Rief stated he will speak with Adam when he comes back next week and perhaps send out an email <br /> inviting them to the next work session. <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br />
