REGULAR t�EETIi1G OF iHE OROP10 COUNCIL, JU'1E 12 , 19 79 Page 2 <br /> It has been decided to build another field behind BEDERj•�OOD PARK <br /> the high school. Tliis will be coriPleted in a fe�a (Coritinued) <br /> years. Iiowever, another field is still needed <br /> for play and practice. There are 13 LittZe League <br /> fields in the area; scheduling of games for younger <br /> boys is not a problert. Another Little League field <br /> is not needed. <br /> Cornrnunity Education �•�ill not provide for the <br /> construction of a ball diamond. It cannot get <br /> involved with capital improvements. <br /> The Orono-Long Lake Baseball Association would <br /> be willing to assist in this venture. The custodian <br /> at the high school mows the school field. `�he <br /> cor.ununity organization takes care of the rest of <br /> the naintenance (spreading sand on the baselines , <br /> etc. ) . A new field would remove nuch oi the frustration <br /> frorn the volunteer coaches. <br /> 47e, on the Orono Park Comission, hope that the Council <br /> will release some of the park dedication funds for <br /> this project.
