MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Thursday, November 5, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />staffing on the night of the event, there will be a tent at the entrance and people to make sure people are <br />on the list, thereby limiting the number of people at the event. <br />Stephens asked if the rule is 250 people at one time. <br />Roath said they will not count people leaving and in the past, they have not been close to 250 people, <br />although that would be a good problem to have. <br />Berg said it would be by reservation so they will know exactly how many will come. <br />Roath said people will not be turned away, but could be added to the list. <br />COMMISSIONERS REPORT <br />Carter checked in with the coach of Orono mountain bike team and in the previous work session they had <br />talked about the potential use of Lowry Woods; at the time, three weeks of the season was left and two of <br />those weeks had six inches of snow so they didn’t get a lot more use. However, they tried the park, saw <br />some merit to it and will go door-to-door in the community to raise support. <br />Klaahsen has some to-dos in touring some of the lake access points. <br />Berg reported she has been to a few lake access points. <br />Hudson visited Bederwood and Crystal Bay and did not see anything out of order, noting the leaves are <br />cleaned up and it looks really good. <br />Berg said speaking of Crystal Bay, she received a call from a resident wanting a dead tree cut down, to <br />refinish the bench and plant two turtlehead bushes in memory of the person the bench is for. <br />Hudson noted sometimes when people take on projects and plant things, they are not maintained. He <br />asked Berg to give him the information and they could look into it. <br />Stephens had nothing to report. <br />Roath noted they had talked about hiring out some weeding and gardening maintenance and a number of <br />parks are on the radar for a higher level of maintenance for the gardens. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Roath said the next meeting will be a work session. He wished everyone a great holiday, reminded <br />everyone of the tree lighting event on Saturday, December 5, 2020, and they will work on an agenda for <br />the first meeting in 2021. If Commissioners have ideas, Roath asked them to send those to Edwards or <br />himself. <br />Roath moved, Carter seconded, to adjourn the Orono Park Commission meeting at 7:02 p.m. <br />VOTE: Ayes 6, Nays 0. <br />
