MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday, September 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Edwards answered it's easier to go informal to formal,because if it's already listed as a formal, it's being <br /> advertised as a formal. He stated if the public wanted to come and make statements, it is already <br /> advertised. <br /> Berg asked if there is enough time in March. <br /> Edwards answered to the affirmative,saying that is his thought. <br /> Klaahsen said she is okay having the formal meeting the second month of each quarter and since <br /> November falls that way anyway,they may want to be consistent. She noted if they get to February and <br /> there are more decisions needed,they could convert March if needed. <br /> Roath said they used to have every other month alternate between formal and work session. <br /> Klaahsen stated she doesn't think they need six formal meetings and she likes that they've cut it to four, <br /> but perhaps they want to do the second month of the quarter as the formal meeting. <br /> Roath noted that would be February,May,August and November. <br /> Edwards said that de-conflicts the Monday holidays, so formal meetings could be on Mondays as <br /> sometimes in July and September the holidays cause them to have to re-work the schedule. <br /> Berg said if in January they find there is something that the Commission really needs to vote on, at that <br /> time they can make February a formal meeting and asked if that is enough time to post it. <br /> Edwards answered yes and that would be true in any month, as long as Staff knows in advance to get the <br /> posting out in time. <br /> Roath stated he likes shifting the formal meetings one month. <br /> Klaahsen said it seems like a long time between November and March for a formal meeting. <br /> The Commissioners agreed. <br /> Roath moved, Carter seconded,to adjust the 2021 calendar to have formal meetings in February, <br /> May, September and November with work sessions in January,March,April,June,July and <br /> August(he noted sometimes they cancel the August meeting),and October. He stated the <br /> Commission generally does not meet in December. VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> Roath asked if Carter would like to propose the times for the meetings. <br /> Carter said it seems counterintuitive but with everyone working from home,he has so many more <br /> meetings he is unable to do a daytime meeting, especially on a Monday. <br /> Stephens said unfortunately,he is in the same position. <br /> Berg moved, Carter seconded to change the meeting time to 6:00 p.m. for the formal meetings and <br /> work sessions. VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> Page 3 of 27 <br />
