MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,January 6,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Berg said she heard a lot of feedback that people really liked Santa. <br /> Ruegemer stated it would be nice to have a consistent date even if Santa becomes unavailable. <br /> Walsh said it is important to have consistency because Santa is the attraction. <br /> Berg said she has him contracted for five years and the people that have him on the second Saturday have <br /> had him for 12 years and are going to have him for 12 more years. She wants to go back to the first. <br /> Ruegemer stated there should be a consistent date for the dog park event,too. <br /> Berg commented that the City calendar will show that. <br /> Walsh said the City calendar is already out but it could be added to the City calendar on the website. <br /> Chair noted a couple years ago there were no community events and a lot has been added. <br /> Carter asked if anyone wanted to lead the Bederwood opening. <br /> Roath offered to lead the Bederwood opening. <br /> The Commissioners and Walsh discussed the woman who works in the clubhouse at the golf course and <br /> that she does a good job. It was noted the golf course also hosts sledding birthday parties. <br /> Walsh stated it's going to be an event center, a place to go to. <br /> Chair noted a lot of people have said they've been going there for years but that they've never been in the <br /> clubhouse and it's really cool. <br /> Ruegemer asked what the amount was for renting it for a birthday party. <br /> Edwards said there's not a cost and it's not a rental but just people letting the clubhouse manager know <br /> there are however many kids coming. The clubhouse manager does not do anything special when people <br /> go there for parties. In the future there could be times after communal hours that events could be planned. <br /> Chair brought up the item Trails. <br /> Carter said he generally agrees with Edwards'assessment with regard to establishing a five-year plan for <br /> trails. The correlation between the priorities and the capital expense budget he felt the Commission could <br /> be more proactive on rather than dealing with stuff as it is rolling in.The committee needs to get together <br /> to look at the capital budget,the comprehensive plan, and make sure that things are in the right order <br /> proactively and then continue to react when something new comes up. Community outreach also needs to <br /> be talked about and how the public will be engaged. <br /> Hudson asked if he was referring to neighbors. <br /> Page 5 of 11 <br />
