MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 22, 1986 PARR COMMISSION COMMENTS SKATING RINK REQUEST City Administrator Bernhardson noted that Park Commission Chairman Terry Morse was unable to attend and Public Works Coordinator Gerhardson was absent due to illness. City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the City received a petition requesting a recreational ice skating rink at Hackberry Park. Park Commission reviewed the requests and recommends that Council direct staff and the engineer to develop costs for construction of a skating rink and the. installation of a well at Hackberry Park, costs of which should not exceed $1,600 paid from the Park Dedication Fund. He noted that once the costs have been presented, reviewed and determined to be feasible, the Park Commission would conduct a public hearing on this matter. Council stated that they were in favor of a skating rink at Hackberry Park, but felt a formal study costing $1,600 was not entirely necessary. It was moved by Acting Mayor Adams, seconded by Councilmember Frahm, to authorize the expenditure of up to $200 for estimate costs of a skating rink at Hackberry Park. Motion, Ayes 3,.Nays 0.
