MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />Monday, November 4, 2019 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />Edwards indicated it would be an insert. The sign itself would be dark woods green with tan coloring. <br />The posts can be green or tan. Staff would propose using similar type of material for the posts. <br />Meyers noted the signs would not need to be repainted. <br />Carter commented he does not like the way the posts stick up above the sign and that he would like Staff <br />to come up with a sketch that depicts the final sign, which could then be reviewed and approved by the <br />Park Commission. <br />Edwards stated the posts will stick up above a little bit because the posts are routed to fit the sign but that <br />it should not be by much. <br />Johnson commented he likes the green for the sign. <br />Berg and Carter stated they would like the posts to be the same color as the sign. <br />It was the consensus of the Park Commission to go with the green sign and tan lettering with green posts. <br />Edwards stated he will do up a color sketch to bring before the Park Commission at their next meeting. <br />8. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN <br />Edwards reported some adjustments have been made to the Capital Improvement Plan based off of <br />previous discussions with the Park Commission. Items on the CIP are funded from the Park Fund and all <br />items on the CII' are subject to funding availability and approval by the City Council. <br />Some of the changes made include the following: <br />Update the trail construction estimate for County Road 19 between Livingston to Dakota. The <br />cost was increased from $115,000 to $160,000. It is Staff's expectation the final design will be <br />smaller than what was originally planned. <br />2. The estimated cost for East Long Lake Road to trail was increased from $120,000 to $134,000 <br />based on reduced expectations of partner funding. <br />Summit Beach improvements have been reduced to $95,300. The estimate was originally <br />$140,000. The scope has been reduced to only include parking paving and playground given the <br />proposal by the Long Lake Rowing Club. The estimate includes a $15,000 playground grant. <br />Edwards noted the City would be able to use the recycled material from the road removal, which <br />would make an excellent base for the parking lot. <br />4. The estimated cost for Big Island ADA trails, amenities, and restroom is $80,000, which is the <br />minimum amount the City will need to contribute. Based upon the grant, the City committed to <br />$200,000, but the 501(c)(3) is working on raising donations to fund the remaining $120,000. <br />5. The golf course fire pit has been reduced to zero from $26,885.00. This item was removed at the <br />direction of the City Council at their October 28 meeting. <br />Page 11 of 15 <br />
