MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday, September 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> $1,300 and people only need to pay half of that,the rest is a match;and the picnic tables are <br /> approximately$5,000,but it would sure be nice to get a few more stones and picnic tables and not give up <br /> money that is free to them and they're trying to do everything they can as a committee. <br /> Roath asked what the timing is on the match. <br /> Carter answered technically they have until next spring(2021), but to get the contractor to do it now <br /> under the pricing they've committed to,they'd need to know by early October. He said he's waiting <br /> every day for the information to be live on the Big Island website and encouraged the Commissioners to <br /> check the website this week and if they don't see anything they should email him as he'll be checking it <br /> as well,and he can use his rough draft email with all the information and send it to the them if needed. <br /> 10. 2020 PARK COMMISSION COMMITTEES AND GOALS UPDATES AND REVIEW <br /> Roath said they had touched on much of this throughout the meeting today and he appreciates it and what <br /> is shaping up nicely is that in January,they typically do work to plan out the year but they already have an <br /> idea of what their"focuses"will be next year. This gives the Commissioners time to volunteer for what <br /> they want to divide and conquer and to set the goals. He said they will officially set the goals in the <br /> January meeting and looking at the list,the East Long Lake Trail goes away as that is finished;the <br /> standing Committee for Lurton Park which is currently vacant;the Community Events Committee;the <br /> Trails Committee;the Big Island Committee,which may not be very active in 2021;the Golf Course; <br /> Hackberry, Crystal Bay and Lake Access Sub-Committees. Roath asked if anyone had a proposal on new <br /> or different focuses for next year or if that was a good list. <br /> Berg note Summit Beach would stay while East Long Lake goes away. <br /> Carter replied it is a good idea to be poised to respond if anything heats up with the Rowing Club and if it <br /> doesn't,to do something proactive such as the parking lot or the playground. <br /> Berg agreed with the playground and noted they talked about a master plan but she thinks they may need <br /> to get past what is going on with the Rowing Club. <br /> Roath stated that is a good idea and that stays(Summit Beach). He recognized there are a lot of vacancies <br /> and it would be ideal if they could fill a lot of these Committees tonight. <br /> Stephens said he had previously joined the Trails Committee and said they've only had one brief meeting <br /> since he joined. <br /> Carter said Stephens did join them for their last meeting so if they add Stephens' name to that Committee <br /> the two of them can handle that for now. <br /> Roath told Berg he's looking to fill some holes and if she wants to jump in,he's giving her the first right <br /> of refusal. <br /> Berg thanked Roath and said she'd take the Lake Access Committee. <br /> Roath asked if it makes sense for Klaahsen to be on the Lake Access Committee, also. <br /> Page 23 of 27 <br />
