Funding for the acquisition of <br />park lands and for improvement of existing facilities will require <br />alternative sources of capital in the future. The City will continue to <br />investigate mechanisms for future funding (such as user fees, grants, etc.) <br />and vrill continue to encourage private donations of land or funds in order <br />to maintiun the level of active a^ passive recreation opportunities desired <br />by Orono residents. <br />City of Oieao OmBuUy Maufcant Plan Page 4E-27
