MINUTES OF THE CITY OF ORONO PARK <br /> COMMISSION MEETING HELD ON MAY 3, 1994 <br /> (�#2) APPROVAL OF PARK COMMISSION ACTION AGENDA FOR 1994 <br /> (CONTINUED) <br /> After discussion, the following roster was established: <br /> May 9, 1994 - Alex Vongries <br /> May 23, 1994 - Lili McMillan <br /> June 13, 1994 - Susan Wilson <br /> June 27, 1994 - Richard Flint <br /> It was requested that this item be placed on the Park Commission agenda to schedule additional <br /> Council meetings in July and August. <br /> Vongries commented he felt the City Council should be invited to go on the bus tour that the <br /> Park Commission has scheduled for it's June 6th meeting and stated he would invite them when <br /> he attended their May 9th meeting. All agreed that this was a good idea. <br /> (#3) REORGANIZATION OF PARK IMPROVEMENTS SUBCOMMITTEE <br /> Chair Flint requested volunteers to serve on this committee. Vongries asked if it was something <br /> that perhaps they should all be involved in rather than have a committee when one was not really <br /> necessary. McMillan commented that if they each took a park and kept an eye on it that would <br /> be a very effective way of keeping it up to City standards. Vongries commented he felt that the <br /> Park Commissioners should view all the parks so they were familiar with existing conditions. <br /> Flint commented he would like to have each Commissioner take a park in which he/she would <br /> take particular interest. The following list was established: <br /> McMillan: Hackberry <br /> Flint: Summit Beach <br /> Wilson: Crystal Bay, French Creek, Lowery Woods & Highwood Nature Trail <br /> Vongries: Antoine, Navarre Playground, Sandy Beach <br /> White: Casco <br /> Ilse: Bederwood <br /> Howells: <br /> It was determined that this process would replace the Park Improvements Subcommittee, and it <br /> was felt it would be much more effective. Vongries suggested that perhaps they should have <br /> a form to keep track of their inspection observations and provide a record of each park. Hurr <br /> suggested that perhaps they could take pictures of each park depicting existing conditions and <br /> put them in a book, which would be available to people to see what each park contains. She felt <br /> that if they could accomplish this prior to the bus tour, it would make it easier to familiarize <br /> people with those parks that they were not in the habit of frequenting. McMillan commented <br /> that an up to date survey of the parks and amenities would need to be done for Shardlow <br /> anyway, and she felt that the Commission doing this would save money. <br /> 4 <br />
