. Z <br /> ORONO BIKE/HIKE TRAIL <br /> Chair Flint reported on meeting with Hennepin Parks personnel on the agreement document. <br /> Hennepin Parks' document has ambiguities and vague language. Problem: to change the <br /> agreement now, it needs to be brought back to Hennepin Parks Board for approval. Hennepin <br /> Parks Superintendent feels it is better to agree and accept agreement now and later process an <br /> amendment if there are substantive issues. That way the agreement is cemented and becomes <br /> a done deal. <br /> Chair Flint explained his proposed language changes and handed out the Parks document and <br /> his suggested changes. Bids will be opened June 18th. They could be tabulated by the engineer <br /> and be ready for presentation at a special meeting of the Park Board before the City Council <br /> meeting on the agreement. Tuesday, June 22nd at 7:15 p.m. was agreed upon for a Special Park <br /> Board meeting to discuss the trail agreement and review the bids. <br /> PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR ORONO SCHOOLS <br /> Eva Hoerr made a presentation on behalf of the playground committee for Schumann Elementary <br /> and Orono Primary School. Goal is to build community benefitting playground facilities. She <br /> presented a packet of materials on proposed playground equipment and designs. Ms. Hoerr <br /> walked through her materials explaining the committee's goals and needs to fund their project. <br /> Their goal: $125,000 by September lst. $10,000 is requested from Orono, the City with the <br /> largest number of families in the school district. Question and answer session followed. Issues <br /> asked were: insurance, safety design, how was Orono's contribution level determined, precedent <br /> setting - what if other school districts asked for similar donations? <br /> Decision and vote will be at July meeting. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m. <br /> �`�/{ �� �% � <br /> I l,{i v � L l.L <br /> ; � <br /> Richard Flint, Chair Person <br /> 2 <br />
