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 />
