• MINUTES OF THE <br /> , ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,March 11,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (11. Ei�AL UATION OF OPTIONS PRESENTED BY RESIDENTS FOR THE ORONO GOLF <br /> COURSE, Continued) <br /> McMillan stated she would like to have the front entrance opened up this year and possibly getting some <br /> ideas for how that will look. McMillan stated in her view the disc golf course is more of a long-term goal <br /> and that she would like to get the existing golf course improved prior to expanding the golf course to <br /> include disc golf. <br /> McMillan noted she has been on the City Council for ten years and that the City has not spent a lot of <br /> time discussing the operations of the golf course. In the 1990s,things were going well,but given the <br /> current economic situation,golf course management is challenging and requires more expertise. The City <br /> needs to get a handle on the operations and that she would suggest that perhaps next week Staff and the <br /> Council hold a meeting to discuss the operations,which could then maybe roll into having the volunteers <br /> show up to see what they would like to do. McMillan noted there is a short time frame to do some of <br /> these things since the season will be starting in approximately another month. <br /> Printup indicated he is very comfortable with the items listed by Council Member Levang and Mayor <br /> McMillan and that he does not want to see the momentum slow down. Printup stated as we go through <br /> this process further,they will have more time to look at things, but that he would like to go forward with <br /> the items suggested by the Mayor and Council Member Levang. <br /> Anderson indicated she is in agreement with getting a handle on the operations, especially in light of the <br /> financials. Anderson commented that sprucing up the place and conducting some fundraising is a good <br /> place to start. <br /> Anderson indicated she has seen the disc golf course in Independence and it is something to strive for. As <br /> it relates to the income stream, it is something that is worthwhile to look at. Anderson stated her concern <br /> is what the clubhouse improvements are going to cost and that it is her hope the fundraising arm will help <br /> with that. <br /> Struve indicated there is some room in the budget where they can appropriate some money for material <br /> costs but that it is not a big amount. Struve noted they do not have the costs for those improvements <br /> presently and that the number of volunteers and fundraising will dictate what can be done as well. <br /> Levang asked if he could be prepared to present to the Council some of the costs at the next meeting and <br /> how much money is available to be allocated. <br /> Struve indicated he can attempt to come up with some costs for these items. <br /> Levang asked if the City's IT person would be able to help with the domain name and website. <br /> Olson stated the domain name simply requires a phone call to LOGIS but that the IT person is not a web <br /> designer. <br /> Struve noted the phone numbers and other information on the website is accurate and that there might be <br /> some outdated information still floating out there on different things. <br /> Page 15 of 27 <br />
