,1.'� <br /> someth i ng ha s to be done wi th i t , I don' t know why <br /> we are talking about parking facilities , nobody <br /> does anything for me when I drive down to Lake <br /> Harriet , they don ' t say yo� are from Orono and here <br /> you are this is for you , to park your car and walk <br /> around the lake . <br /> John Hammerel - May I respond to him? Mayor <br /> Butler , Please do . <br /> You know here in Orono we run a pretty tough act , I <br /> don ' t know if you know that in the way we keep a <br /> delightful place to live and that corner has been <br /> there an�3 I told the story to Bill Gregory that I <br /> worked there in a fireworks stand 5�1 years ago . <br /> You know, it has always been used for this . So <br /> politically I think you cou_id see where we are , now <br /> the place has never been policed , never been <br /> controlleci because it was not under Orono you <br /> understand that? Now Orono is going to step in <br /> and police it , keep it clean , and have the police <br /> shut it off at night , and I am sure they will do a <br /> good job , but I think first of all we should be <br /> given the opportunity to do this , you know before <br /> we just go out and cut it off completely.

Capp <br /> -- I realize that 5�1 years aqo was 5� years ago , 5 <br /> years ago it was a very clean place too , but today <br /> we are living in a diff_erent day and age . Mr . <br /> Hammerel - there are suppose to be less people <br /> driving now. Mr . Capp - well listen I live right <br /> there . Mr . Hammerel - I know, I 've been going by <br /> there all t'�ese years . <br /> Councilmember Grabek , tahat are the reper- <br /> cussions? <br /> Mayor Butler , what do you mean? <br /> Councilmember Grabek , To closing it off . <br /> Mayor Butler , I don ' t think that you could <br /> physically close it , I think that the people that <br /> use it will continue to use it whether it was <br /> screened , bermed , treeed , I would invision a far <br /> greater degr. ee of vandalism there than there is <br /> now, if they were precluded from using it as they <br /> have in the past , I don ' t think that the City is <br /> proposing anything that even remotely smacks of <br /> expanding the use . If anything we will curtail <br /> the use in that the hours will be defined , they <br /> wi 11 be posted , they wi 11 be pol i ced . As fa r as <br /> litter is concerned that will be policed . If we <br />
