r <br />TO:Orono Parks, Open Space, and Trails Commission Members <br />FROM: Greg Gappa, Director of Public Services <br />DATE:January 27, 1999 <br />SUBJECT: Dickey Park Improvements <br />At the January meeting, the Parks Coimnission discussed proposed improvements and decided <br />to develop this park in a staged improvement plan over the next several years. The consensus <br />of the comrrussion members was to propose to the City Council that $30,000 be spent in 1999. <br />The items to be completed this year would be cleaning up the park, mowed walking trails, <br />gravel parking lot with guard posts along the edge, picnic tables park signs, and tree planting. <br />I have attached a section of Minnesota State Statues concerning burial grounds we will need <br />to complete an archeological survey because there is reason to believe Dickey Park may be a <br />burial ground. <br />A cost estimate for these items is shown below: <br />Archeological Survey <br />Clearing a Grubbing <br />Gravel .
