Ilse questioned the wording "**items related to funding" could mean <br /> subject to outside funding or to approval for the use of Park <br /> Dedication funds. <br /> Flint agreed and explained that some of the things don't take money. <br /> Ilse questioned if everything except for the Comprehensive Plan meant <br /> money asked for within dedication. <br /> Flint explained that no money was being asked for that at this point <br /> and added his dislike of the use of asterisks. <br /> Vongries suggested to correct the spelling of the word dyke to dike on <br /> page 3. <br /> Upon discussion regarding the use of asterisks it was suggested by <br /> Bradley to use the number ( # ) sign in place of double asterisks for <br /> items subject to funding. <br /> Ilse expressed a concern about items subject to funding and asked if <br /> it means to seek approval. <br /> Flint answered yes. <br /> Gerhardson asked if the golf course should be looked at as a <br /> Commission task or to include it in the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> Vongries questioned the eagerness of including the golf course. <br /> ' Flint responded that it is not a good administrative way to handle <br /> things and that it is clearly part of overall recreation for Orono and <br /> why isn't it under the Park Commission. <br /> Wilson said she would like to see the group be concerned with all <br /> recreation - the team sports and their facilities as well as <br /> neighborhood parks, open spaces and that the group could oversee the <br /> whole aspect which is a better balance. <br /> Gerhardson mentioned that park activities are going on now. <br /> Wilson commented about the heavy use of skiing and sliding in the <br /> winter. <br /> McMillian, the observer, added presently the park is used for sledding <br /> and cross country skiing and it is used almost as much in the winter <br /> as summer. <br /> Gerhardson added that people come by bus loads from Minneapolis. The <br /> DNR cuts in a cross country trail when they are grooming the Luce <br /> Line. <br /> Flint felt it would be good to distinguish between the summer and <br /> winter activities and theoretically let it run independently as a golf <br /> course and use it during the winter as part of the recreational <br /> program. <br /> 5 <br />
