MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday, September 10, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 23 of 27 <br /> <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.
