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 1 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 />
