MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday, September 10, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 8 of 27 <br /> <br />Carter seconded it and said he thinks it’s a good idea to have a dock at Lydiard Beach, noting he goes <br />there now and then to keep an eye on it and he agrees with Berg. <br />Roath clarified that the proposal is to change the CIP with further review. <br />Carter answered in the affirmative. <br />Roath moved, Carter seconded to change the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) line item Dock or <br />Swimming Platform for Sandy Beach from $10,000 to $20,000 to include a placeholder for Lydiard <br />Beach. VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />Roth asked if they should have anything in the CIP for Summit Beach improvement at this point. <br />Stephens asked if there is still an aspiration to put a playground there and he thinks they should look at <br />paving the parking lot as it’s a nightmare. <br />Roath stated they’re assuming that the Rowing Club is not going to happen and if they assume that, the <br />Park Commission will have to pay for the pavement and playground from the $95,300 line item for 2023. <br />He noted at the March 2020 meeting, the proposal they sent to the City Council recommended going <br />through the process of doing a master plan for Summit Beach. He doesn’t know if it’s appropriate to do <br />now or if that is still on hold, but clearly as things get settled with the Long Lake Rowing Club proposal, <br />it may be beneficial to go through the master plan at some point. <br />Berg asked if they had an idea of when they’d do the master plan. <br />Carter replied it would probably be Bolton & Menk. <br />Edwards stated they can, it’s just expensive. <br />Carter had a question and comment on Exhibit A of the presentation, he noted some of the line items are <br />listed under later years than 2021 and asked if those would be done in 2021 or later years. <br />Edwards explained this is the 2021 Capital Improvement Plan which covers a 10-year period. <br />Carter asked if they should just look at 2021 and not worry about a project that is three years out. <br />Roath said he thinks they need the visibility. <br />Edwards stated they don’t need to spend a lot of time on it right now, unless there is already a strong <br />feeling one way or the other regarding the project. <br />Carter said with that understanding, he thinks $95,300 for Summit Beach in 2023 is fine and they can talk <br />about it next year. He noted if he thought the Rowing Club was imminent, he would say let’s double <br />down and do a master plan ASAP but it doesn’t appear imminent to him. <br />Berg agreed they could wait until next year and see what transpires with the Rowing Club. <br />Roath asked about French Creek Park (Tree Maintenance and Planting).
