Ms. Bouchard stated she has lived in Orono for <br />23 years and has never been involved in civic activity at the municipal level. She retired <br />last summer and decided it is time to give back to the community. She feels the parks are <br />not promoted actively enough to the community. She would also like the citizens to know <br />they have a sympathetic ear on the Parks Commission. She would also like to poll citizens <br />about their park use. She has not looked into whether there is an extensive city plan <br />regarding parks, but she would like for there to be one. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated that the present Comprehensive Plan for the City does not promote <br />parks. The Council, the Park Board, and the City Planner have decided to change that. He <br />then asked what Ms. Bouchard thinks about the City's desire to change the Dakota Line to a <br />trail. Ms. Bouchard stated she is very much in favor of making the Dakota Line a trail <br />because there are no sidewalks along County Road 15. If appointed, Ms. Bouchard would <br />work hard to see the conversion happen. <br />Flint asked where she lives. Ms. Bouchard stated she lives between Fox Hill and Sailor ’s <br />World on County Road 15. <br />Mayor Jabbour informed Ms. Bouchard that the City has more applicants than positions <br />available, and he encouraged Ms. Bouchard to apply for future positions if she is not <br />selected for a current opening. <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />'*'3.
