MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,February 1,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> to the intersection with Old Crystal Bay,thereby joining with the Independence Trail that runs <br /> north/south. <br /> Hudson said when they met with Three Rivers about 6 months ago they were talking about initially <br /> starting south and working north, so some of Orono and Wayzata may get done first. <br /> Edwards remembers that as well and thinks there were some opportunities with other projects, <br /> particularly in Wayzata and also Orono that may make that happen. He said the other thing is that <br /> provides a quick connection between the Dakota on the south side of the project in Wayzata up to the <br /> Luce Line if nothing else. <br /> 3. PARK COMMISSION GOALS UPDATE <br /> Roath said in front of them is the goals sheet that he took from the Commissioners last conversation and <br /> captured. The purpose of this agenda item is to get their eyes on the goals and get any feedback and also <br /> to start thinking about the milestones. Some of those are in here and with others he took some liberties <br /> and added in italics. He noted none of this is in stone right now but he wanted to share with everyone <br /> what the intentions and aspirations are for 2021. He ran down the goals and those who are on deck for the <br /> sub-committees can chime in on milestones and timelines;this is a document that will evolve over the <br /> year. Roath will take Summit Beach since Berg and Klaahsen are not present;they want to formalize a <br /> vision document for the park including playground equipment and possible swim platform and consider <br /> making a grant request to help fund the playground equipment. Klaahsen's update today told them she is <br /> trying to understand the costs for the playground equipment. Roath has asked Berg and Klaahsen to work <br /> together on finishing what this vision document is and depending on the costs, it may be something they <br /> try to move forward this year or may have to wait on. Regarding Lurton Park, Roath said they talked <br /> about establishing the weekly maintenance checklist, determine how to handle the overflow parking <br /> situation, and add signage to support that. They will host the Lurton Dog Days in June 2021 (tentatively <br /> June 19,2021)alongside Friends of the Dog Park Group, and finally develop a list of future upgrades. <br /> Regarding community events at the parks, Roath put together all four of the events for this year and <br /> slotted when the planning should be completed. They have the Lurton Park Dog Days in June, so they <br /> would probably start in April to get participants-they could reach out to Julie Ruegemer and Bryce <br /> Johnson to see if they have anything from the last time they did this two years ago or find some notes. <br /> Edwards will go through some old emails. <br /> Roath said that might be a good place to start. <br /> Stephens said it would be nice to know as he was not in attendance. <br /> Hudson was not at the event, either,but noted it was rather simple with a food truck, a small dog adoption <br /> event, and members of the Lurton family were in attendance. <br /> Roath said the last event was more of a dedication and presentation of the"bone,"he does not think they <br /> need a presentation but it is more of a reason for people to come out that day and talk dog stuff. <br /> Hudson noted they could look at the previous event and talk about what worked and what did not. <br /> Page 7 of 13 <br />
