MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,March 2nd,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Edwards clarified that vandals did that. He said the fence would be repaired or replaced with a rural-type <br /> fence but they are moving away from split-rail. <br /> Berg said that was a great idea because that area is almost as busy in the winter as it is in the summer. She <br /> commented that she is a proponent of the snowmobiling in the area. <br /> Edwards noted that after Berg brought that up at a work session,the gates were removed so snowmobiles <br /> could get in and out. They did not find anything in the records which restricted that site as a snowmobile <br /> access point. <br /> Klaahsen asked if the Commissioners would be open to revisiting the decision six years ago about <br /> removing the little swim docks from the beaches. <br /> The Commissioners and Edwards discussed where the decision may have been made,whether it was at <br /> the Council level or the Park Commission level, and that docks at beaches were removed although docks <br /> are maintained at lake access points. <br /> Klaahsen asked if the docks were still in the garage. <br /> Edwards said the parts of the docks are in the garage and they use the parts to repair docks in other places. <br /> Carter noted docks could be put back,but new ones would have to be bought. <br /> Edwards agreed with Carter. <br /> Berg recalled that the problem was people were fishing on the docks and people were pulling their boats <br /> up to the docks,which was the catalyst for the removal.Her neighborhood would love to see the docks <br /> back. They also would like to see the swim buoys stay where they are. <br /> Klaahsen said her neighborhood would also appreciate them. She asked,assuming it was a minimal <br /> expense,whether the Commissioners would be open to discussing it. <br /> Roath indicated since it has been six years it is worth revisiting, and asked Klaahsen if she would like to <br /> take the lead. <br /> Klaahsen agreed to do so. <br /> Berg indicated it would be at Sandy,Lydiard,and Summit. <br /> Roath asked if there would be a small dock at Summit as part of the reconstruction of the trail. <br /> Commissioners indicated there would be a fishing bump-out with rocks. <br /> Edwards commented at master planning it was discussed whether there would be a fishing pier off the <br /> trail but not in the park. <br /> Roath asked whether it would have been in the canoe launch area. <br /> Page 19 of 20 <br />
