MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, November 4, 2019 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Ruegemer stated bringing in bikers and hikers and swimmers is different than constructing a 9,000 square <br />foot building for a private club. <br />Rachel Feldman stated she would echo those same comments. <br />The Planning Commission took no formal action on this item. <br />STAFF REPORTS <br />6. NAMING OF PARK BEHIND THE LONG LAKE FIRE STATAION <br />Edwards noted the parcel of land behind the Long Lake Fire Station was designated as a park by the City <br />Council a number of years ago. The park was not tracked by Staff since it was unnamed. The parcel has <br />been used for the donation garden and recently there has been some interest in developing the parcel. The <br />City Council directed that Staff and the Park Commission look at how this parcel is used as a park. It is <br />Staff's feeling one of the first things to do is to give it a name and start tracking it as a park. <br />Some options include the Donational Garden Park or the Fire Station Park. <br />Meyers stated another idea was to name it after Paul Pesak, who served as Mayor and a Park <br />Commissioner. This park is for the donation garden and not a community garden. Meyers recommended <br />it be named the Paul Pesak Donation Garden Park. <br />Carter moved, Ruegemer seconded, to recommend the park behind the Long Lake Fire Station be <br />called the Paul Pesak Donation Garden Park. VOTE: Ayes 7, Nays 0. <br />Meyers suggested the park also have a small plaque erected that says "Press On", which was a saying that <br />Paul liked to use. <br />7. PARK SIGN STANDARD <br />Edwards stated the top image on the screen is an example of the current park sign standard and the bottom <br />is the new design. <br />Berg noted the circle was on top of the old sign but not within the sign. <br />Edwards stated the colors preferred by the Park Commission was dark woods green with tan lettering. <br />The sign would be smaller than the current sign at 95 inches wide. <br />Meyers asked whether gray was an option. <br />Edwards indicated it was not an option. The material is recycled laminate plastic. The sign and post <br />would be $2,100, concrete $100, labor $120, for a total cost of $2,320. The signs would not be <br />illuminated. The existing signs are made out of cedar and are starting to deteriorate. <br />Johnson asked how the logo would be done. <br />Page 10 of 15 <br />
