MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Monday,August 1,2022 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Vicky Gallagher, 6905 North Shore Drive, noted many semi-pro pickleball players who are experts in <br /> how it should be designed and how it should look. She asked if they could put together a committee of <br /> volunteers to sit down for the feasibility study and give suggestions on what works and what does not. <br /> Edwards would be going back to the pickleball committee for the sketch up and if more people wanted to <br /> come they are welcome. <br /> Porter moved,Berg seconded,to direct Staff look at the feasibility of building a pickleball court at <br /> the golf course in 2023.VOTE: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> LURTON OFF-LEASH PARK <br /> Chair Roath said someone reached out to him regarding Lurton Park and they took a tour together. This <br /> person is not an Orono resident but goes to the park every day and the man said there is a group out there <br /> every day which is what the Commissioners had hoped for. Chair Roath spoke about a Facebook page <br /> called"Lurton's Lounge"which has dog jokes, stories, and pictures of people who go out to the park. <br /> The man noted the hand-pump has not been working for some time and suggested looking at the pumps at <br /> Three Rivers which are solar-powered. Since that meeting the pump has been fixed and is now working <br /> well. Chair Roath said the other suggestion was to look at the fencing as the well is back outside the fence <br /> which leads to filling containers and handing them over the fence. <br /> Edwards clarified the reason the well is outside the fenced area is to meet Department of Health concerns. <br /> Chair Roath noted everyone seems to be happy with the maintenance at the park. He is excited about the <br /> community built there and thinks soon they need to address the park. The City has not been enforcing the <br /> parking passes and parking spots are being taken up by those who do not have a pass rather than those <br /> who paid for the pass. <br /> The Commissioners discussed the parking at Lurton,permit fees, accessibility, safety, expansion of the <br /> parking lot, and enforcement. <br /> Chair Roath noted many good ideas and there will be an opportunity to talk about his when they discuss <br /> the fee schedule in the fall. <br /> COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Duval moved,Berg seconded,to adjourn the Orono Park Commission meeting at 8:10 p.m. VOTE: <br /> Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> ,[91 Brian Roath, Chair <br /> Page 6 of 6 <br />
