MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 2, 1998 <br /> (#5 - Spring Bike/Walk for Parks - Continued) <br /> A suggestion was made regarding use of the Luce Line for the event. Bikers would be <br /> sent in one direction and walkers in another with festivities to end at the same location. It <br /> was determined that the event should start at Bederwood Park with bikers ride ta the <br /> west, which allows for about a 12 mile distance. Walkers would walk to the east. <br /> Concern was voiced for weather conditions in April. Ilse said the event must be <br /> conducted within the stipulated time frame to qualify for endorsement by the organization. <br /> It was decided that walking would be available if conditions were adverse for biking. <br /> Ilse asked for and received approval for authorization to move forward with this event. <br /> She will then make community contacts with schools, girl scout troops, boy scout troops, <br /> newspaper, and see what interest develops. Commissioners will assist with distribution of <br /> materials. It was noted that there would be some printing costs involved. <br /> A time frame for the event to run during the day chosen was suggested in order to <br /> accommodate other plans by participants. Welles will review the Minnesota sports <br /> calendar. <br /> Ilse said she would contact Dick Schmidt of the DNR regarding use of the Luce Line for <br /> this event. Van Zomeren said a special events pernut would also be required. <br /> Wilson suggested adults be stationed at all cross roads for safety purposes. <br /> Ilse asked Commissioners to think of ideas for pledges. <br /> (#6) COPY FOR SPRTNG BULLETIN - WELLES <br /> Ilse will provide Welles with information on the March for Parks event.
