MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Tuesday,September 3,2019 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> 7. LURTON PARK GROUP UPDATE—JENNIFER KLAAHSEN <br /> Klaahsen reported the group was formed in early July and a group email was sent out yesterday inviting <br /> the people who signed up at the event to join the group. Four or five emails have bounced back and some <br /> people have joined the group. Some of the people who have accepted the group have forwarded it onto <br /> people they know. Dates for when the work sessions and meetings are scheduled will be posted. <br /> Johnson commented it is a good way to communicate about the park and that they could perhaps consider <br /> putting a sign out at the park saying there is a Facebook page for the park. <br /> Edwards recommended the sign be laminated. <br /> CHAIR AND COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS <br /> 8. COMMISSIONER'S UPDATES <br /> Klaahsen reported Sandy Beach and Casco ice rink have been adopted by two different families. <br /> Someone had placed a bunch of stuff for free at the park over the weekend and that she will let Adam <br /> know if those items are still there. <br /> Northstar Mini Donuts has been secured for the tree lighting ceremony and that the vendor would like <br /> additional information on the event. <br /> Roath noted Commissioner Berg is coordinating that event. <br /> Saga Hill and Lurton Park <br /> Johnson commented Saga Hill looks very nice with all the wildflowers and that he likes the trail marking <br /> signs. Johnson asked why some of the signs had a red square and some had a green arrow. <br /> Edwards indicated they used different colors and shapes for the different trails and that they used a shape <br /> and color to help those who are color blind. The colors and shapes should line up with the trail map. <br /> Johnson stated some more signs could be erected at the place where the trail goes off to the left near the <br /> opening. There is no indication that the trail continues past the edge of the Big Woods and that the area is <br /> overgrown. <br /> Johnson noted there are still only two sitters out there and that it was his understanding they were going to <br /> get a third. <br /> Edwards stated he will have to double-check but his recollection is the distributor was out of them this <br /> spring. Public Works will start mowing the trail into that area since it has become overgrown. <br /> Crystal Bay Park <br /> Hudson reported an Eagle Scout will be starting his project at the Crystal Bay playground. He will be <br /> installing a new rain garden on the back side of the Post Office and removing the split rail fence. The <br /> Page 6 of 7 <br />
