MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 6, 1995 <br /> (#6) GaLF CO[JRSE - PROGRESS REPORT <br /> McMillan reported that the golf course was very icy for sliding. A large group did use the <br /> golf course for cross-country skiing last week. Howells said that Gear West did cancel <br /> one Wednesday evening activity, but the building operator was in attendance and had not <br /> been notified of the cancellation. Gear West will be informed that they need to notify the <br /> building manager or the City Offices by Tuesday when Wednesday activities are cancelled. <br /> The success of the golf course clubhouse use on Wednesday evenings and Saturday and <br /> Sunday afternaons will not be judged solely on this winter's record and wilI be continued <br /> ne�ct year. The lack of snow this winter has been detrimental to this year's success. The <br /> club house will remain open for the scheduled times through the end of February. <br /> (#7) PARK COMMISSION ACTTON PLAN <br /> The Commissioners updated the status of the items on the action plan. Flint said the <br /> commission needs to look at the possibility of a park on the Dickey property. <br /> Accordingly, since no group has come up with funds to save the barn, this was added to <br /> the action plan for 1995 as item#�0; Ilse and McMillan to serve on the subcommittee to <br /> plan for this park. The barn on the property will be taken down by the developer. The <br /> developer for this property reportedly has spoken with the people at Murphy's Landing to <br /> see if they have any interest in the barn. <br /> The items on�he action plan that are not on this meeting's agenda are updated here. The <br /> new updated action plan is attached to these minutes. <br /> Lowry Woods, item#3, was discussed. Gerhardson said he will speak with the developer <br /> about the parking tot for the trail. The developer is not obligated to widen the road until <br /> one more lot is sold. At that time, the parking lot will be installed by the City. <br /> Ilse reported having spoken with Steve Carlson regarding the Little League Baseball <br /> Diamonds, item #4 on the plan. There is a problem with the grass for the diamonds. The <br /> fence posts are in, but not the connecting mesh. Work is ongoing but not yet ready for <br /> opening. <br /> The 1995 Park Tour is scheduled for June 5, at 6:00 p.m. The group will tour selected <br /> parks at that time, particularly those where the Commission is currently active.
