The LLRC <br />is looking for a new home for a boat house. Currently they are at Birches. Last year they reached out to <br />explore possible partnering opportunities with Orono and particular siting a boat house at Summit Beach <br />Park. Representatives presented an overview of what they are envisioning and receive commission <br />feedback. <br />b. Donation Garden Park update and discussion. The donation Garden is located behind the <br />Long Lake Fire Department Building. Earlier this spring the City Council directed staff and the Parks <br />Commission to review city support to the donation garden site. Subsequent staff research has revealed <br />that the site was designated as a park in 2011. Park commission considered a name for the park and <br />discuss and future improvements there. Donation Garden representative, Janie Delaney provided a history <br />and overview of the garden. <br />c. Park Entrance Sign Standard. Many of our entrance signs are in need of replacement. The <br />existing design and materials are difficult to reproduce and maintain, so staff would like to propose a new <br />standard that is readily commercially available. Staff provided several options for Commission feedback. <br />Commissioners preferred the Dark Green and Tan option. Staff will bring back a sample to a regular <br />session. <br />d. Park Capital Improvement Funding Discussion. As mentioned at the last regular Park <br />Commission meeting, the Park Enterprise Fund could have a zero cash balance as early as next year based <br />on the currently planned capital projects. Staff provided an overview of spending and revenues from the <br />past several years. Commissioners asked staff to bring back the CIP with some changes. <br />COMMISION ACTION REQUESTED <br />Approve Work Session Notes <br />Prepared By: Reviewed By: Approved By: <br />
