ORONO PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR SEPTEMBER 7, 1999 <br /> Ilse stated that the March for Parks raised approximately $725.00 this year, and recommended <br /> that the money be allocated towards the purchase of recreational equipment or towards the <br /> construction of a half-court basketball court at Casco Point. Ilse commented that interest in the <br /> Bederwood area for a basketball court is not as high as it has been in previous years. <br /> White stated that the Casco Point Park is utilized for informal football and skating. <br /> McDermott commented that there is a fair amount of land available in that area which is not currently <br /> being utilized. <br /> Silber stated she would be in favor of another half-court basketball court. <br /> McDermott remarked he also is in favor of another half-court basketball court, but at the present <br /> time it is not feasible at Navarre Park and that perhaps consideration should be given to Casco. <br /> Wilson commented that the parks in Long Lake are well equipped and provide for a variety of <br /> recreational activities. <br /> Silber suggested that perhaps the Orono Parks Commission tour the Long Lake parks prior to the <br /> next Parks Commission meeting. <br /> White recommended that each Parks Commission member tour the Long Lake parks on their own <br /> prior to the next meeting. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> _ � <br /> Ilse moved, Wilson seconded, to adjourn the meeting at 8:4��m.
