MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Tuesday, September 3, 2019 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />establishing a preliminary levy and no major changes are being proposed for the Park Commission's 2020 <br />budget. <br />Johnson noted Saga Hill will require some periodic attention similar to Lurton and asked whether that <br />would fall under the park maintenance budget. <br />Edwards indicated that is already built into the operating budget and comes out of the professional <br />services part of the Parks budget. <br />Roath asked how close the budgets are to being finalized. <br />Edwards stated they are pretty much finalized unless the Park Commission has any suggested changes. <br />The Capital Improvement Plan or CIP looks at expenses going out ten years. Items to consider for the <br />2020 Parks Capital Improvement Plan are as follows: <br />Trail construction along CSAH 19 (Livingston to Dakota) - $115,000 <br />East Long Lake Road to trail - $120,000 <br />Summit Beach improvements (paved parking and playground) - $140,000 <br />Big Island ADA Trails, Amenities, Restroom - $80,000 <br />GC fire pit - $26,885 <br />Picnic table and shade sail at community garden - $7,000 <br />Park related equipment on the CIP for 2020 include an aerator and a mower. <br />Carter noted every project is included on the CIP except for Item 8. <br />Johnson asked why the trail construction along CSAH 19 is not being done next year. <br />Edwards indicated he tied the project to the road and currently that project is scheduled for 2022. <br />Johnson asked if there was not some provision to redo that road as part of a development project due to <br />damage caused by construction traffic. <br />Edwards stated he is not aware of the set-aside of specific funds and that he would need to review that <br />specific development agreement. <br />Ruegemer asked whether the trail could be done separate from the road project. <br />Edwards indicated it could be but then the trail costs would increase substantially. <br />Carter asked what the County Road 6 trail improvements are. <br />Edwards indicated that is a trail between Old Crystal Bay and Willow. The improvements would consist <br />more of a rehabilitation of an existing trail versus new construction. <br />Edwards noted the projected end -of -year 2019 Park Fund balance is $468,067. The projected end -of -year <br />2019 Lurton fund balance is $28,275. Barring any major developments, there will be some funding issues <br />in future years. <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
