MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 4, 1992 <br />OTHER ISSUES - CONT. <br />Gerhardson suggested that a Park Commission representative attend <br />the Planning Commission meetings if there is an issue of potential <br />park dedication requirements to be discussed. <br />Bradley stated that a staff person deal ing with zoning appi ications <br />should be representing the Park Commission’s Interests in these <br />matters. <br />Chair Flint asked about Bederwood baseball field. <br />Use reported that she talked with Dr. Mich from the Orono schools, <br />and he was confused as to how the hockey arena and the basebal I <br />fields were tied together. She stated the school has offered the <br />land to OBA to lease for $1.00 per year for the use of baseball <br />fields. Mich stated the fields have been leased to a farmer through <br />this fall, and OBA has not requested to lease the land for the <br />upcoming year. <br />It was moved by Bradley to invite Gary Larson to the next Park <br />Commission meeting. There ‘-as not a second and the motion failed. <br />Wilson felt they need to decided if they intent to donate money for <br />the construction of such fields. <br />Ilse felt that should not be a factor for the OBA to move further <br />with their plans. <br />Johnston understood that OBA stiI I owes Larson $10,000 for the <br />Bederwood Park. He felt that a private organization should not have <br />to build these types of facilities, and that it should he the <br />responsibility of the City. He said he wouId like the City to build <br />the entire complex on the site. He noted he would recommend the <br />ball fields be built for multi-users. He said that the fees charged <br />by OBA probably only cover the administration costs of running the <br />program and do not Include capital expenditures. <br />Bradley noted that in the past the school districts have been the <br />providers of recreational faciIities. <br />Vongries felt that there shou.d be cooperation with <br />communities. He felt that they should try to satisfy <br />the Community. <br />surrounding <br />the needs of <br />Johnston stated that he does not believe we should expend funds <br />for dug outs or concossion stands. He felt we should help pay for <br />the grading, drainage and ag lime on site. <br />8 <br />1
