MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, March 4, 2019 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />8. PUBLIC WORKS PARKS UPDATE <br />Edwards reported on the following work performed by the Public Works Department: <br />- The work performed by the Public Works Department over the past couple of months has <br />centered mostly on snow removal, equipment maintenance, and ice rink maintenance. <br />- Pending work over the next two months includes snow/ice removal, porta pot and garbage can <br />placement, tear -down of the ice rinks, and dock installations. <br />- The design and engineering for Bederwood has been started. Bolton & Menk has the guidelines <br />prepared and they are just waiting for the snow to melt so they can perform the survey. <br />- Work has been completed to address a mold problem found at the Orono Golf Course Clubhouse. <br />- Staff has been coordinating with Three Rivers and Hennepin County. A cooperative agreement <br />with the DNR and Three Rivers has been reached and approved by those two entities. If the City <br />Council approves that, design work will begin on the extension of the Dakota Trail, with the work <br />commencing next summer. <br />- Three Rivers received a grant to look at trail crossing safety and they also have around a <br />$150,000 grant to redesign the intersection at County Road 15. The goal is to make traffic more <br />visible to bicyclists by reconfiguring some of the vegetation in the area and the hope is to make <br />some of those changes this season. <br />Lurton Dog passes: 205 total passes have been sold consisting of 73 resident and 132 <br />nonresident. The majority of the dog passes typically are sold in May. <br />SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS <br />9. BEDERWOOD SPORTS FIELD <br />Roath reported he and Staff met with the engineers and rescoped what the project will look like. The goal <br />is to have most of the construction done this year, with grass or sod planted by the end of the year in order <br />for it to be ready for spring sports in 2021. <br />10. EAST LONG LAKE TRAIL <br />Roath noted this item has already been covered. <br />11.
