MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday,September 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Roath said that is great and he feels like they're at the stage in this Commission where they've finished <br /> some big projects and now,they have new members and are(hopefully)coming out of COVID-19. <br /> Edwards asked to clarify that the October Work Session would be a Committee-focused event. <br /> Roath agreed it would be a Committee-focused event,include Lake Access Points,and he'd also like a <br /> conversation around expectations and Rules of Conduct of the Park Commission and being on the <br /> Committee, as that is something they haven't discussed in a while. <br /> Klaahsen asked if they would still have the sledding events this winter. <br /> Edwards answered the Golf Course is open to those who want to use it,but they'll have to decide whether <br /> they will open the Club House, as it has been open all season for golf and done things out a window. <br /> Klaahsen asked if they could still use the window in the winter. <br /> Edwards replied he thinks they could, and at Staff-level they could look at how to do that safely and find <br /> a seasonal volunteer. <br /> Berg asked regarding Lake Access Points, what will they be doing at the October meeting. <br /> Klaahsen suggested they divvy the Lake Access Points up and the Commissioners can visit them in the <br /> meantime. <br /> Berg asked Edwards to send a copy of the map. <br /> Edwards replied he would send a copy and if the Commissioners are willing,they can meet as a sub- <br /> group and he can give some history on the things he is aware of. <br /> Berg asked if Edwards could send her a copy,as well,as she's not as familiar with all of the access areas <br /> and she'd like to educate herself and start going to the sites. <br /> Edwards said in the new Commissioner book,he has included the maps,but he can certainly send the <br /> digital version and noted they're also available on the Orono website under the Parks or Comprehensive <br /> Plan section. <br /> Roath asked to add another thing to the October meeting agenda, noting they can put it as the lowest <br /> priority;he suggested each of the Commissioners go out to their assigned parks and report back with <br /> some ideas and what the park looks like. <br /> Klaahsen said she could share the template she used during her beach visit sites and noted it's just an <br /> inventory of what is there(i.e.playground,garbage cans, etcetera)and that it is nice to see what is at each <br /> of the parks,their condition and any other comments. <br /> Edwards said in particular for the new Commissioners,they do not have to wait for these meetings; if <br /> they're out at any of the parks and see something that needs attention,they can reach out to him to get <br /> Staff to take care of it,and said he's most accessible by email. <br /> Page 25 of 27 <br />
