MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, May 6, 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 />
