MINUTES OF THE CITY OF ORONO <br /> PARKS, OPEN SPACES AND TRAILS COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2000 <br /> accesses. <br /> Gappa commented the City may not be able to vacate any lake accesses, noting the City of <br /> Mound attempted to vacate a lake access and was challenged by the DNR, who prevailed in <br /> the lawsuit. Gappa stated he will attempt to find that Supreme Court decision and provide it <br /> to the Parks Commission. <br /> Meyers stated there is one lake access that is located between two residences that are fairly <br /> close to one another. <br /> Gappa stated that access is fairly heavily used by the snowmobilers in the wintertime. Gappa <br /> stated any lake access that is platted is definitely City owned property,with some easements <br /> being questionable. <br /> (#11) NEW PARK IN NAVARRE <br /> McDermott inquired whether the Parks Commission was in agreement with the potential name <br /> Langdon Park for the newly acquired land in Navarre. McDermott stated the name appears to <br /> be used in Mound somewhat. <br /> Gappa commented he likes the name. <br /> Silber suggested involving the public and having a historical or geographical name contest <br /> with publication in the next City newsletter. <br /> McDermott noted this land will not be developed for a long time, and if the public is involved <br /> in naming the park,they may anticipate improvements will be made to the park in the near future. <br /> McDermott requested the Park Commission continue to think of a name they would like to see <br /> for this park. <br /> (#12) PARK MAINTENANCE & IMPROVEMENTS—2000-2001 <br /> Gappa stated the City Administrator requested the park maintenance &improvements list be <br /> given to the City Council in their packets for information rather than as an agenda item. Gappa <br /> stated the City Council indicated they did not want to approve it at this time because they had <br /> the impression they were giving their approval to all the projects on the list. The City Council <br /> stated they would like to discuss the list in a workshop. <br /> Gappa indicated he informed the City Council the Parks Commission had developed the park <br /> maintenance and improvement list to help justify the park dedication fee and to help prioritize <br /> the parks for needed improvements. <br /> McDermott noted the City Council had requested the Parks Commission develop this list. <br /> McDermott stated the list is intended to serve in a similar fashion as the City's Comprehensive <br /> Plan by giving some guidance on the direction the Parks Commission would like to proceed in <br /> the future. <br /> PAGE 5 <br />
