ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, JANUARY 12,2004 <br />PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS—DEBORA HAL VORSON, <br />REPRESENTA TIVE —Continued <br />Hackberry Park. They were opened for winter break. The golf course had not opened its <br />wanning house, however, because there was not enough snow for sledding. <br />They discussed prioritizing projects over the next five years. They will be doing an <br />inventory of park equipment, including the current value of each item. White suggested <br />listing the ages of equipment on the inventory. Halvorson stated the inventory will help <br />them budget for maintenance over the next twenty years. She also stated they hope to <br />encourage community involvement in smaller projects. <br />McMillan stated that she attended the meeting. <br />Murphy stated he didn’t realize the golf course had winter hours. Halvorson replied the <br />course is open for sledding at all times, but the wanning house keeps hours. <br />Mayor Peterson announced that Halvorson will be the new City representative to the <br />LMCD. Halvorson thanked Council for their support. <br />PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS—LIZ H AWN, REPRESENTATIVE <br />None. <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Mrs. Winston of 765 Spring Hill Road asked if the City has a committee looking into the <br />historical value of properties around Orono, concerning preservation. She stated there is <br />grant money available for preservation projects. <br />White stated that they do not have an inventory, per se, but that Gaflron notifies Council <br />when there is something before them of significant age. He stated that they have <br />discussed the need for preservation, but it is not a high priority. <br />Sansevere and Murphy suggested preservation projects could fit in as a Parks Commission <br />duty. <br />ZONING AD.MINISTRATOR’S REPORT
