OKAY. HOLD ON. THOSE IN FAVOR OF THE AGENDA SAY AYE.
AYE. THOSE NOT IN FAVOR OF SAME SIGN. AGENDA IS APPROVED 6 TO 0.
[Approval of Minutes]
DOES ANYONE HAVE COMMENTS ON THOSE MINUTES? BRUCE.THE ONLY THING I SAW WAS THAT IT SAID, I THINK FEBRUARY THE APPROVAL OF THE MEETING MINUTES FROM FEBRUARY, WASN'T IT FROM MAY. SO THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
I CAN CORRECT THAT. BUT THE ACTUAL MINUTES THAT ARE IN THE AGENDA ITEM ARE FROM MAY.
BUT I CAN CORRECT THAT AGENDA ITEM SO IT REFLECTS THE CORRECT.
BUT THOSE ARE THE CORRECT MINUTES. YEAH AND I HAD A COMMENT ON THE MINUTES.
IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE TAKING OUR PARK ASSIGNMENTS TO THE COUNCIL.
WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT. WE WANT TO TAKE OUR GOALS TO THE COUNCIL.
SO CAN YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF IT BEARS CORRECTING, BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO COUNCIL AND SAYING, HERE ARE THE PARKS WE'RE EACH WATCHING OVER.
WE WANT TO TAKE THE GOALS PER OUR EARLIER CONVERSATION AND ADD THAT TO THE MINUTES TO REFLECT THAT.
IT'S CLEARER. YEAH, JUST A CLARIFICATION. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE MINUTES FROM MAY? DO I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES AS PER THE DISCUSSION? I MOVE TO APPROVE THE MINUTES. CAN I HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND IT. OKAY, THE MINUTES ARE APPROVED PER THE COMMENTS THAT WE JUST SHARED WITH JOE.
WE GOT A VOTE. I'M BETTER BEFORE I MET WITH CHRISTINE.
LET'S VOTE. THOSE IN FAVOR OF ACCEPTING THE MINUTES, PER THE COMMENTS WE JUST SHARED WITH JOE, SAY AYE. THOSE NOT SAME SIGN. MINUTES ARE APPROVED 6 TO 0.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD NOW I'M GOING TO PASS THIS OVER TO JOE.
[Staff Report]
SO KIM BEFORE OUR LAST MEETING, JUST WANTED SOME CLARIFICATION TO KIND OF INFORM YOU GUYS ABOUT KIND OF THE BUDGET TIMELINE IN RELATION TO PARKS. SO I DREW UP KIND OF A BASIC KIND OF TIMELINE OF WHERE DEADLINES ARE NEEDED TO BE MET THAT MOST OF THEM THAT JUST RELATE TO WHAT WE'LL BE WORKING ON.SO BASICALLY WE GOT OUR BUDGET PACKET FROM ACCOUNTING FROM THE CITY IN MAY. SO I'M REVIEWING THAT CURRENTLY AT THE NEXT WORK SESSION.
I BELIEVE SO. MAGGIE, OUR FISCAL ADMINISTRATOR WILL PRESENT TO COUNCIL KIND OF WHERE SHE SEES THE BUDGET GOING AND THEN TAKE THEIR INPUT AND THEN THAT WILL INFORM THE REST OF OUR, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE'RE BUDGETING BEFORE IT GOES.
THAT INCLUDES SALARIES AND HEALTH CARE, THAT KIND OF STUFF.
[00:05:10]
DAY TO DAY FUNDS WE NEED TO WORK AS A CITY. ENTERPRISE FUND IS A ONE THAT'S OBVIOUSLY IMPORTANT TO US BECAUSE THE GOLF COURSE IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND.SO IN JULY I'LL HAVE TO PUT IN A DRAFT BUDGET TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT THAT REALLY IS JUST WHERE WE THINK IT'S COMING. AND THAT'S ONCE AGAIN THE GENERAL BUDGET OF THINGS THAT WE NEED TO SURVIVE EVERY DAY SO.
IS THE ENTERPRISE FUND THE PARKS AND THE GOLF COURSE? NO, JUST THE GOLF COURSE. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THAT PORTION OF THE BUDGET IS GOING TO BE LIKE I BROUGHT UP BEFORE.
IT'S SALARIES. IT'S, YOU KNOW, SUPPLIES TO THAT THE GOLF COURSE NEEDS.
IT'S NOT ANY KIND OF CAPITAL OR PROJECTS, WHICH IS WHERE THE PARKS COMMISSION IS GOING TO COME INTO WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. SO WHEN WE GET INTO SEPTEMBER, THAT'S WHEN WE PRESENT TO COUNCIL KIND OF WHAT THE FINAL BUDGETS ARE LOOKING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT TO GIVE THEM PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THEIR INPUT. AND THEN WE ADJUST THOSE BEFORE THEY'RE SUBMITTED FOR THE FINAL.
ONCE WE GET INTO SEPTEMBER, THAT'S WHEN THE DRAFT THE CIP IS, NEEDS TO BE INTO FINANCE.
SO THAT'S WHY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE GOLF COURSE, AUGUST IS A GOOD TIME TO HAVE THINGS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO ADD IN THE CIP, AND THAT WOULD BE THE SAME FOR THE PARKS. SO IF WE'RE ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING IN IN AUGUST.
SO I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO GET THAT PROGRAMED INTO THE CIP BEFORE IT'S SUBMITTED TO FINANCE.
THAT'S KIND OF THE TIMELINE WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO THAT WOULD BE WHERE ADDITIONAL BENCHES, IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LAKE ACCESS, WHATEVER WE'RE KIND OF LOOKING THAT'S OUTSIDE OF LIKE A GENERAL BUDGET WOULD BE NEEDED.
SO I THINK WHEN YOU GUYS WERE ASKING ME AT THE WORK SESSION, WHEN SHOULD WE DO THE AUDITS? THEY SHOULD BE DONE JULY, MOSTLY AUGUST. SO WE CAN HAVE A QUICK TURNAROUND.
I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. DO WE HAVE A MEETING IN AUGUST TO SURFACE ANY POTENTIAL CAPITALS? I THINK WE MUST. NO, I THINK AUGUST IS THE MONTH WHERE WE'RE OFF BECAUSE OF.
I THOUGHT, WELL, I'LL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU SEPARATELY, BUT WE HAVE A BIT OF A QUICK TURNAROUND THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF THE SLOWER START, AND I PUT THAT ON ME ON THE STANDARDS. BUT SEPTEMBER 25TH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'VE HAD TIME TO GIVE JOE INPUT SO HE CAN SORT OUT HOW HE WANTS TO TAKE IT FORWARD. YEAH. THAT'S PERFECT. OKAY. YOU KNOW, I DON'T NEED I DON'T NEED A MONTH, BUT I NEED A LITTLE TIME TO GET IT GOING AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE MONEY.
AND WE NEED TO AGREE WHAT WE WOULD PUT ON THE LIST ACROSS ALL THE PARKS.
YEAH. IT SHOULDN'T JUST BE COMING FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE WHO'S OBVIOUSLY DOING A LOT OF WORK.
IT SHOULD COME FROM THE WHOLE COMMISSION WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT OUR WHAT'S OUR TOP PRIORITIES? BECAUSE INEVITABLY THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME THINGS THAT WE CAN'T DO THIS YEAR, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WHERE, OUR PRIORITIES ARE. SO I CAN RECOMMEND THOSE FOR GETTING THEM IN THERE.
YEAH, SURE. IF WE ARE RECOMMENDING SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE OVER MANY YEARS.
IF WE'RE RECOMMENDING SOMETHING THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE OVER MANY YEARS, IS THAT STILL IS IT ALL WRAPPED UP IN? YEAH. SO WHEN WE'RE DOING THE CIP PLANNING, WHAT WE USUALLY DO IS AT LEAST FIVE YEARS OUT.
OKAY. SOMETIMES MORE. SO IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A MANY YEAR IMPLEMENTATION.
SO WE KNOW KIND OF HOW MUCH WE WILL HAVE IN THE BUDGET.
SAME THING WITH, YOU KNOW, PLAYGROUNDS EVERY I THINK EVERY TEN YEARS WE HAVE A PLAYGROUND.
BUT IT JUST GIVES US KIND OF AN IDEA WHERE WE NEED TO BE BUDGET WISE TO PLAN FOR THAT.
SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO BE A MANY YEAR BUDGET PLAN THAT CAN BE INCLUDED, BUT YOU WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE WHAT'S COMING IN NEXT YEAR IN THERE READY TO GO. YEAH. OKAY.
[00:10:04]
THANK YOU. AND THEN WE JUST SO SEPTEMBER GOES TO, YOU KNOW, THE PRELIMINARY LEVY.THAT'S JUST THE TAX RATE THAT THE CITY IS SETTING THAT WILL BE, YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT THE BUDGET IS FOR, YOU KNOW, OUR GENERAL FUND OCTOBER IS WHERE THE DRAFT CAPITAL PLAN IS REVIEWED.
SO WE DON'T, I'M NOT SURE WHERE IT'S BROKEN DOWN YET, BUT THERE'S TWO WORK SESSIONS IN OCTOBER.
YOU KNOW, AND LET US KNOW IF IT'S SOMETHING THEY SUPPORT OR NOT.
EVEN IF IT'S APPROVED IN THE CAPITAL, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S APPROVED FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
IT STILL HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF COMING TO COUNCIL AND THEN THEY APPROVE IT FOR PURCHASE.
THE CAPITAL IS JUST WE'RE CONSIDERING THIS AND WE BUDGETED FOR IT.
AND THEN ONCE THAT IS ADOPTED WE ALSO WORK ON THE FEE SCHEDULE.
THAT'S ANOTHER ASPECT THAT THE PARK COMMISSION COULD BE INVOLVED WITH.
SO THAT'S IF WE WANT TO RAISE FEES FOR FIELD RENTALS, IF WE WANT TO RAISE THE FEES FOR THE GOLF COURSE FOR, YOU KNOW, ANY OF THE ASPECTS THERE A ROUND OF GOLF OR A CART RENTAL, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
WE DO DO SOME RENTALS IN THE BUILDING, SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK AT TOO.
THAT THEN GETS APPROVED BY COUNCIL AS WELL. IS THAT A STAFF RESPONSIBILITY TO RECOMMEND FEE SCHEDULES? NORMALLY YEAH. NORMALLY STAFF WOULD WOULD DO IT.
AND JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT. BUT I'M WELCOME TO INPUT FROM THE PARKS COMMISSION.
IF YOU, YOU KNOW, LOOK AT IT AND SAY, OH, WE'RE, YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WE'RE PRETTY, WE'RE PRETTY IN LINE WITH AT LEAST THE GOLF COURSE IS THE BIG ONE. WE'RE PRETTY IN LINE WITH WHAT, YOU KNOW, GOLF COURSES OF A SIMILAR NATURE ARE IN THE AREA.
IT'S KIND OF OUR FIELD RENTAL RATES ARE PRETTY LOW, I WOULD SAY COMPARED TO OTHER CITIES THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO LOOK AT, BUT IT'S A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE WE WANT, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T WANT TO BE PROHIBITIVE FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE FIELDS.
YEAH. SO WHAT FEEDS THE FEE SCHEDULE? IS IT TO COVER THE MAINTENANCE OF THE YEAR? IS IT OR HOW DOES IT REALLY PLAY INTO THE. NO, IT'S REALLY JUST A WAY.
FOR SOCCER AT BEDERWOOD THEIR RENTAL FEE. IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT COVERING THE MAINTENANCE COSTS OF THAT FIELD, BUT IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT ALLOWS US TO. IS THAT TYPICAL FOR MOST PARK COMMISSIONS OR PARK DISTRICTS? YEAH, I WOULD SAY FOR THE MOST PART, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A FINE LINE OF YOU WANT, YOU KNOW, PARKS ARE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT PEOPLE TO USE THEM.
ACCESSIBLE. YOU WANT THEM TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, YOU KNOW, ALL TYPES OF GROUPS, BUT YOU ALSO DON'T WANT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE SOME OWNERSHIP. SO THAT'S KIND OF WHERE THE RENTAL FEES COME IN.
SO THEN WE WAIVE THEIR FEES, BUT THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING, EXCUSE ME, THAT COULD ALWAYS BE LOOKED AT, BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY IT'S BEEN WITH THEM.
YEAH. QUESTION. I NOTICED THAT ORONO WESTONKA SOCCER GROUP HAS RESERVED BEDERWOOD, YOU KNOW, FOR 5:00 TO 8:00 ALL FIVE DAYS OF THE WEEK.
WOULD ORONO GET A DISCOUNT RATE BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE CITY OF ORONO, OR WOULD THEY PAY THE SAME AS SOMEONE IF THEY WERE COMING FROM. YEAH. THEY PAY THE SAME RATE FOR FOR RENTALS.
OR DO YOU MEAN REGISTRATION FEES FOR LIKE THE KIDS? WELL NO, WHAT THEY WOULD BE PAYING THE CITY. YEAH.
THEY'RE PAYING THE SAME. IT'S JUST THE RATE IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY DISCOUNT OR ANYTHING.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT LIKE, YOU KNOW, IN PRIOR CITIES I'VE WORKED IN.
[00:15:03]
SO YOU WOULD HAVE FOR FIELD RENTALS, YOU COULD HAVE A DESIGNATION FOR RESIDENT NONRESIDENT.YEAH, IT'S TOUGH, I THINK WITH THAT LEAGUE, BECAUSE WHAT YOU END UP HAVING IS, OH, WELL TECHNICALLY, YOU KNOW WE'RE FROM A DIFFERENT CITY, BUT HALF OUR KIDS ARE FROM ORONO.
DOES THAT COUNT? SO YOU HAVE TO KIND OF MAKE SURE YOU'RE MAKING YOUR POLICIES CLEAR.
BUT THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CONSIDER.
I WOULD SAY THAT FOR THE MOST PART, ALL OF OUR RENTALS ARE RIGHT NOW ARE GROUPS THAT ARE IN, WITHIN THE CITY. WE'VE HAD A COUPLE OF TOURNAMENTS OR KIND OF LIKE LARGER EVENTS.
THEY WANT A VOLLEYBALL GROUP WANTS TO USE IT.
THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY, BUT IT'S WITH GROUPS THAT ARE IN THE CITY.
SO. YEAH. AND ONCE THE FEE SCHEDULE THAT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE COUNCIL AT WORK SESSION, THEY GET TO GIVE THEIR COMMENTS ONCE EVERYTHING'S SET, WE TWEAK ANY KIND OF COMMENTS WE'VE HAD, AND IT GOES TO COUNCIL FOR THEM TO VOTE ON THE ADOPTION OF THE LEVY AND THE BUDGETS FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
AND THEN I HAVE KIND OF A LET'S INCLUDE IN THE PACKET.
SO THIS IS THE VERY COMPLICATED CHART THAT YOU CAN REVIEW, BUT IT KIND OF JUST GOES OVER KIND OF THE PROCESS OF WHAT'S GOING ON. SO MUCH LIKE WE'RE WORKING THE BUDGET WORKS THROUGH KIND OF A SIMILAR PROCESS WHERE WE HAVE OUR GOALS SET BY COUNCIL AND BY STAFF. WE PLAN KIND OF PREP WHAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED FOR THAT PLAN, REVIEW IT. IT GOES TO COUNCIL FOR REVIEW US FOR REVIEW AND PUBLIC THEN APPROVAL.
SO THE KEY TAKEAWAY FOR THE SIMPLE BUDGET MIND IS WE SHOULD HAVE AN ALIGNED POINT OF VIEW TO YOU ON CAPITAL INVESTMENTS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 25TH. AND WE'LL HAVE TO BACK THAT UP. BUT WE HAVE I GOT TO DO SOME CRUNCHING IN JULY AND AUGUST, SO THAT CAN HAPPEN THIS YEAR. EXACTLY. OKAY. THANK YOU.
SO THAT'S IN PROCESS. MOST OF IT HAS BEEN KIND OF CLEARED OUT.
POST OFFICE AREA IS DONE. DOG PARK WE'RE WORKING ON CLEARING UP THE REST OF THAT.
AND THEN I DID WANT TO, SINCE WE'RE IN THE OPEN MEETING NOW, JUST TALK ABOUT THE AMENITIES THAT WERE ORDERED, THE MULCH AT BEDERWOOD, THE TRASH CANS, RECYCLING A COUPLE OF NEW BIKE RACKS THAT ARE GOING OUT.
SO THAT STUFF IS ON ITS WAY. AND OKAY, SO BEFORE WE DO THAT, ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTION ON THE BUDGET PROCESS? VERY HELPFUL. THANK YOU. AND THEN THE BRUSH CLEANUP, WE TALKED ABOUT ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THAT.
I KNOW, MOLLIE, YOU HAD SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT BRUSH CLEANUP, TREE CLEANUP, LIKE WHAT THE PROCESS OR JUST IN GENERAL, LIKE HOW WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT. I THOUGHT YOU HAD ASKED THAT.
WELL, I THINK THIS YEAR IS PERHAPS A BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE YOU'RE SO AGGRESSIVELY TAKING DOWN TREES.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE NOTICED IS THAT THE CLEAN UP IS IN SOME CASES, MAYBE EVEN JUST A BIT DANGEROUS. BUT I THINK. YES, WE'RE IN A SPECIAL SITUATION WHERE YOU'RE HAVING TO KEEP UP WITH THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT EVERY YEAR, PROBABLY NEXT YEAR TOO. BUT LIKE NEXT YEAR, CAN WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE? HAVE YOU HAVE MORE ACCESS TO PEOPLE SO THAT WE CAN DO THAT? WELL, A POSITIVE THING, I THINK. SO THIS YEAR WE WILL IN PARKS AND STREETS ARE SHARING WE PURCHASED AN ATTACHMENT, A GRAPPLE. SO IF YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS, IT'S JUST BASICALLY A BIG CLAW THAT CAN PICK UP HEAVY, HEAVY TREES BASICALLY. SO WE GOT THAT. IT TOOK A WHILE TO ORDER.
SO THAT CAME AT THE END OF IT'S THE END OF WINTER, EARLY SPRING.
WE NEEDED SOME ADJUSTMENTS ON IT SO THAT DELAYED IT A LITTLE BIT.
SO A LOT OF THE TREES THAT WE TOOK DOWN WERE KIND OF WAITING TO GET THAT GRAPPLE BACK.
[00:20:02]
THE EQUIPMENT THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE TO GET THAT OUT IS GOING TO TEAR UP THE DOG PARK A LOT.SO WE KIND OF WAITED FOR THAT GRAPPLE TO COME IN.
NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT IN, THE STAFF IS KIND OF WELL TRAINED ON IT.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. BUT WITH ALL THE ASH TREES AND THEY'RE EVERYWHERE, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOUR STAFF TO HANDLE ALL THOSE? WE'LL BE. WE'LL BE WORKING ON THEM FOR YEARS.
LIKE YOU CAN FOLLOW THEM PRETTY EASILY. SOME OF THE SMALLER ONES. IS THERE ANY KIND OF INVENTORY THAT'S BEEN TAKEN OF AND A REASONABLE ESTIMATE? YEAH, WE HAVE AN INVENTORY OF ALL BASICALLY OF ALL THE TREES IN THE PARK, LIVE AND DEAD.
SO I THINK RIGHT NOW. THERE'S ALWAYS MORE THAT ARE GETTING ADDED TO IT, UNFORTUNATELY.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING PROBABLY THREE, FOUR YEARS TO GET THEM CLEARED OUT OF THE PARKS.
HOPEFULLY WE COULD. THAT'S PRIMARILY THE ASH TREES.
YEAH. PRIMARILY ASH TREES. DEAD ASH TREES, TO BE MORE SPECIFIC.
HOPEFULLY YOU KNOW, IF WE CAN GET SOME CONTRACTORS IN WHO CAN DO A LITTLE QUICKER SOME OF THE BIGGER TREES AND THEY PULL IT OUT RIGHT AWAY, THAT WOULD THE AMOUNT WE CAN TAKE OUT. RIGHT NOW, IT'S REALLY JUST IN THE WINTER GREG AND, AND MITCH, MY TWO STAFF IN THE WINTER JUST GO OUT AND CUT THEM DOWN.
AND THAT'S KIND OF THE TIME TO GO. AND WE DO THAT MOSTLY IN THE WINTER BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT TEARING UP THE PARKS, YOU'RE NOT DISRUPTING ANY ACTIVITIES. AND THERE THEY HAVE THE FREE TIME TO DO THAT.
ARE YOU PRIORITIZING LOCATIONS THAT ARE CLOSER TO PEOPLE? YEAH, WE'RE TRYING TO AND, WE'RE PRIORITIZING THE MOST DANGEROUS ONES THAT WE THINK HAVE A CHANCE OF AFFECTING RESIDENTS OR KIDS PLAYING AT THE PARK, OR THEY'RE GOING TO IMMEDIATELY FALL DOWN AND LOOKING AT ONES THAT WE, LIKE I SAID, CAN CONTRACT OUT THAT ARE BIGGER AND DANGEROUS.
SO IT'S UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH TIME, NOT ENOUGH STAFF, NOT ENOUGH MONEY.
AND I THINK EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT. SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH AS WE CAN.
LIKE IS IT CONSIDERED, THOUGH, A A RISK IF YOU DON'T TAKE A REALLY DEAD ONE DOWN QUICK? NO, THERE'S NOT REALLY LIKE I MEAN, WHAT I THINK MORE OF THE PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THEM ARE BRANCHES ARE GOING TO COME OFF.
YEAH. THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE MORE WEAK. SO IF YOU HAVE A BIG ONE NEXT TO A PLAYGROUND OR SOMETHING, WE WANT TO GET THOSE DOWN. THERE'S NOT A TON OF RISK FOR THEM JUST KIND OF FALLING OVER ON THEIR OWN.
BUT IF THERE'S A STORM, THERE'S HIGH WINDS THERE.
THERE'S A GOOD POINT. IS SUMMIT BEACH ON YOUR LIST PRETTY HIGH UP? YEAH. IF YOU, IF YOU GO OUT THERE, YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE ALREADY THEY'RE MARKED FOR THE RED X.
YEAH. THEY'RE GNARLY LOOKING THOSE TREES. YEAH.
THANK YOU. YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS ON TREES? THEN YOU WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
SO YOU KNOW, LAST YEAR I KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS COUNCIL WAS VERY INTERESTED IN WAS GETTING SOME PERMANENT TRASH CANS TO REPLACE KIND OF THE, BIFFS OR THE, YOU KNOW, THE RANDY'S JUST CANS WE HAVE OUT THERE.
SO I HAVE ORDERED TRASH CANS FOR, I THINK RIGHT NOW WE HAVE 13 DIFFERENT PARKS WILL BE GETTING THEM TO KIND OF PHASE THAT PART OF IT IN JUST TO SEE HOW THEY'RE GOING TO WORK OUT HOW STAFF IS GOING TO HANDLE IT.
HOW, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH GRAFFITI THEM BEING MOVED, THAT KIND OF STUFF WE GET AT THE PARKS, PEOPLE DUMPING. BUT THEY'RE ORDERED, THEY SHOULD BE HERE IN FOUR WEEKS.
I THINK. THE TRASH CANS THEMSELVES ARE VERY NICE.
THEY'RE METAL. THEY'LL BE EASY. THEY HAVE TOPS ON THEM, SO TRASH CAN'T FLY OUT.
AT THE MORE AT THE BUSIER PARKS. SO BEDERWOOD, HACKBERRY, NAVARRE, I FORGET THE OTHER ONE.
WE'RE GOING TO DO THE RECYCLING AND THE TRASH CAN COMBO.
AT SOME OF THE TRAILS, I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY TO HAVE A HUGE TRASH CAN WITH RECYCLING.
[00:25:01]
SO JUST THE TRASH. AND IF WE DO WANT TO ADD RECYCLING LATER, DO YOU CHAIN THEM DOWN? WE ARE, WE'RE NOT PLANNING ON CHANGING THEM DOWN RIGHT NOW.I THINK WE'RE HOPING IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
I MEAN, THE CURRENT TRASH CANS. NO ONE'S REALLY MESSING WITH THEM TOO MUCH BESIDES DUMPING TRASH.
SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THESE ONES WILL BE SIMILAR.
ALSO, I THINK TALKED ABOUT SOME NEW BIKE RACKS FOR ONES THAT WERE DAMAGED AND KIND OF NOT USABLE.
THOSE ARE GOING TO ORDER THOSE AT THE SAME TIME.
WE HAVE THE NEW, THE NEW DOCK COMING IN. THAT SHOULD BE COMING SOON.
SO WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY'RE MOST NEEDED. AND WHERE WE CAN GET THOSE OUT.
YEAH. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE STAFF UPDATE? IS THAT IT, JOE? THAT WAS IT. SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
WHICH IS THAT GOING THROUGH THE GOALS. SO THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH CHRISTINE.
WE'RE TAKING THE GOALS FROM THE COUNCIL. WE PUT OUR GOALS TOGETHER.
WE'RE WORKING ON THE MEETING STRUCTURE TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT.
WE'RE UTILIZING SUBCOMMITTEES, AND WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE SUBCOMMITTEES BRING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMISSION IN A WORK SESSION FOR INPUT SO THAT WHEN WE VOTE ON IT AT A COMMISSION MEETING, WE'RE ALL FAMILIAR WITH IT.
AND I WOULD ASK THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEES DO THAT.
THEY BRING THE WORK FOR FEEDBACK TO A WORK SESSION AND FOR ALL OF US TO PARTICIPATE.
SO WHEN WE VOTE ON IT, WE'RE ALL ALIGNED TO MOVE FORWARD.
WE'RE DEFINING THE COMMISSION ROLES BASED ON THE DIFFERENT SUBCOMMITTEES THAT WE HAVE, AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING TRUE TO THOSE ROLES TO MAINTAIN OUR CREDIBILITY. AND WE ALSO WANT TO RECOMMEND TRANSITIONING OUR GOALS JUNE TO JUNE, BECAUSE WHEN WE GET NEW COMMISSIONERS IN EARLY IN THE YEAR, IT'S HARD TO JUST JUMP IN AND SET GOALS.
SO WE KNOW THE BUDGET WON'T CHANGE. BUT OUR GOALS WE'D LIKE TO DO FROM JUNE TO JUNE.
MOLLIE, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT? ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THAT GOAL? I THINK WE JUST WANT TO LIVE IT EVERY MEETING.
THE SECOND ONE IS MIKE, MICHAEL, BRUCE AND I ARE GOING TO DEVELOP THE ROADMAP THAT ALIGNS WITH THE CITY COUNCIL, BOTH SHORT AND LONG TERM. AND BASICALLY HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT IS ESTABLISH A PORTFOLIO OF PARK TYPES AND THEN DEFINE EACH PARK TYPE BY THE TYPES AND NUMBER OF ELEMENTS THAT WOULD BE IN THAT PARK.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT THE WORK SESSION. I'M A LITTLE BEHIND ON THAT TO GET A DRAFT OUT TO MIKE AND BRUCE, BUT I WILL WORK ON THAT IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
AND THEN WE WILL USE THAT AS OUR EARS AND EYES TO DO OUR AUDIT THIS YEAR, WHICH AGAIN, FOR WHAT WE JUST SAID EARLIER, WE WANT TO DO THAT SO THAT IF THERE'S ANYTHING FOR THE COMP PLAN OR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, WE GET THAT TO JOE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 25TH. OKAY.
SO MOLLIE, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT NEXT ONE? LOOKING AT THE MASTER PLANS. YEAH. I THINK FOR THE PURPOSE.
SORRY, SORRY. I THINK I'M IN FRONT OF THE MICROPHONE FOR THE PURPOSES OF 2026.
I THINK WHAT WE, THE HOPE HERE IS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE HAVE IN THE HOPPER TODAY.
SO WORK WITH STAFF TO SEE WHAT MASTER PLANS EXIST.
SO THAT WE CAN START THINKING LONG TERM ABOUT MAKING SURE WE HAVE A MASTER PLAN AND NOT ALL PARKS ARE CREATED EQUAL. I THINK SOME WILL BE BRIEF VERY SHORT PLANS FOR, FOR A PARK THAT EITHER IS IN LIKE, LET'S SAY HACKBERRY, YOU KNOW, HACKBERRY PROBABLY WON'T NEED A LOT OF DETAIL TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S JUST BEEN DONE.
SO ANYWAY, IT'S MOSTLY JUST RESEARCH FOR 2026.
[00:30:01]
GOOD. SO, SO YOU CAN REPORT BACK TO US WHERE WE HAVE MASTER PLANS AND WHERE WE DON'T AS A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR 27.YEP. COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THAT. UTILIZE COMMUNITY SURVEYS, OUTREACH ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO BETTER UNDERSTAND OUR RESIDENT PRIORITIES AND EXPECTATIONS. MOLLIE AND JACOB.
DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING OR ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE? CAN I, SHOULD I GO, CAN I GO? I THINK WE ARE GOING TO PAY GOOD ATTENTION TO THE SURVEY WORK THAT IS BEING DONE BY THE CITY OF ORONO. AND I THINK THAT THAT WILL PROBABLY INSPIRE KIND OF WHERE WE TAKE THE NEXT ROUND.
AND I WOULD SEE THAT EVEN IN THE MASTER PLAN WORK THAT WE CAN DO SOME GRASSROOTS TALKING TO PEOPLE AND LEARNING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT OUR COMMUNITIES WANT FROM OUR PARKS.
AND SO IT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF WORKING WITH THE CITY ON THAT.
BUT ALSO I THINK YOU KNOW, JUST AS WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE MORE AND MORE WITH THE FOLKS THAT UTILIZE THOSE PARKS THAT LIVE NEAR THOSE PARKS AND TRYING TO KIND OF USE THE GOOD JUDGMENT OF HEARING WHAT THE FOLKS ARE SAYING, KIND OF LOOKING AT THAT AND SEEING WHAT WOULD MAKE THIS A BETTER PARK.
AND I THINK AS WE EACH HAVE OUR OWN PARK ASSIGNMENTS, A LOT OF THOSE ARE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, OF WHERE WE LIVE AND WHAT OUR INTERESTS ARE AND TRYING TO GATHER THAT TYPE OF INFORMATION FROM EACH OTHER AND FROM THE COMMUNITY AND MAKING THE BEST HOPEFUL IDEAS AND IMPLEMENTATION FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AS WE MOVE FORWARD OVER THE YEARS.
THANK YOU. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE REST OF THE COMMISSION ON THAT GOAL? LAKE ACCESS PLANNING. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AT THE WORK SESSION AND PER THE LACK OF TIME TO GIVE IT JUSTICE, WE WOULD WANT TO BE PUTTING THAT ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT.
DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? YEAH. YOU GUYS. GOLF COURSE.
LET ME DO SOMETHING THOUGH, BECAUSE BETWEEN NOW AND THEN THERE'LL BE SOME WORK GOING ON.
BASICALLY THE DOCUMENT THAT JANIE SUPERVISED AND I WORKED WITH HER ON IS THE TEMPLATE FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD TO. AND WE'RE GOING TO DRILL DOWN WHAT THAT REALLY IS, IS A VERY GOOD ANNOTATED INVENTORY OF THE ACCESS POINTS THAT ARE OUT THERE, ALL OF THEM. SO WE GOT A FRESH PICTURE, A DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IT IS.
AND THERE'S A HUGE GROUP OF THOSE THAT WE SAY, YOU KNOW, HAVE ACTIVE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY AND A GROUP THAT SAYS TO BE DETERMINED AND ONE WHERE FOR WHATEVER REASON, SAFETY OR GEOGRAPHY OR WHATEVER DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY. THAT'S NOT A VERY BIG LIST, BUT THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE. WE'RE GOING BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT MEETING JACOB AND I ARE GOING TO BE VISITING WHATEVER SITES THAT WE THINK WE NEED TO UPDATE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO START TO DRILL DOWN INTO THOSE SITES A LITTLE BIT MORE AND GET TOWARDS MORE OF THE WHAT COULD BE DONE HERE TO ENHANCE USER VALUE AND THAT KIND OF THING.
LET'S FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY THEY'RE GOING TO GO, BECAUSE THEY'RE EITHER ALL GOING TO HAVE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITY OF SOME KIND OR THEY DON'T. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON DRILL DOWN INTO THE ONES THAT DO TO, AGAIN, MORE LIKE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH PARKS, WHERE SHOULD WE BE SPENDING OUR TIME AND THAT KIND OF THING.
I WENT OUT AND VISITED SOME OF THE OF THE PARKS AND, YOU KNOW, IN THE SUMMERTIME, LIKE THERE'S JUST, THERE'S A LOT OF ACTIVITY AT SOME OF THESE PLACES.
THANK YOU. ANYTHING, JACOB, YOU WANT TO ADD? NO, NOTHING TO ADD.
GOOD. WAIT A MINUTE. GOLF COURSE.
[00:35:06]
YES. SORRY. YEAH. YOU'RE MOVING THIS UP TOO FAST.YEAH. GOLF COURSE UPDATE. SO I WAS GOING TO DO THAT UPDATE IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES.
SHOULD I JUST DO THAT UPDATE NOW? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, IS A SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATE.
[INAUDIBLE] ALL RIGHT. HERE WE ARE. ALL RIGHT.
SO BRUCE, GORDY, AND I PLAYED GOLF TOGETHER. AND IT WAS REALLY COLD, BUT IT WAS REALLY FUN. AND IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO KIND OF KICK OFF WHAT WE'RE HOPING IS GOING TO BE A REALLY FRUITFUL, EXCITING WAY BACK TO WHAT WE CONSIDER JUST A TREASURE. RIGHT? WE MET SO WE PLAYED GOLF AND THEN THE, WE HAD A MEETING AT THE GOLF COURSE WITH KIM AND GREG, WHO ARE AMAZING.
AND THEY WERE INSPIRING. THEY'RE VERY INSPIRING TO TO HEAR THEIR IDEAS AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF OF WHAT'S WORKING AND WHERE THE CHALLENGES ARE AND WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET THE GOLF COURSE BACK.
AND HOW MUCH THEY'VE DONE SO FAR. AND HOW MUCH THEY HAVE DONE SO FAR.
IT'S JUST IT'S, JUST, IT WAS VERY, A VERY INSPIRING CONVERSATION.
SO WE TALKED ABOUT SHORT AND LONG TERM POSSIBILITIES.
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT A FOOD TRUCK, WHICH WE THINK COULD BE A GREAT ADD TO THE GOLF COURSE AND POTENTIALLY, AND WE WERE WITH JOE AS WELL. JOE IS WITH US.
SORRY, SORRY. WE TALKED ABOUT A FOOD TRUCK FOR THE GOLF COURSE, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO LEVERAGE THAT FOR COMMUNITY EVENTS AND BUILDINGS.
SO WE THINK THERE MIGHT BE SOME GREAT SYNERGIES THERE.
THESE ARE ALL JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, IN THE ETHER RIGHT NOW, BUT A MASTER PLAN FOR THE GOLF COURSE.
A LOT OF YOU KNOW, IRRIGATION, EXCUSE ME, IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE PLANS FOR THAT.
LONG TERM FUNDING IS THERE A WAY THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY SEEK PRIVATE FUNDING SO THAT WE CAN GET SOME OF THIS STUFF DONE? GRANTS. WHAT GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE OR WHAT OTHER KIND OF MONIES ARE AVAILABLE IN THE BUDGET.
I THINK WE WILL ALSO EXPLORE. NEXT STEPS. WE WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO MR. PERSIAN AND SWINGHAMMER. SCHWENGLER. SCHWENGLER.
FOR THEIR INPUT WE KNOW THAT THEIR ADVOCATES OF THE GOLF COURSE AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE FOR US TO START HAVING MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE IDEAS WE'RE TOSSING BACK AND FORTH, THEN PRESENT A PLAN TO THE COMMISSION AND THEN TO THE COUNCIL.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW. A LOT MORE TO EXPLORE.
A LOT MORE TO FIGURE OUT. ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? I'LL JUST ADD THE GOLF COURSE THE INVESTMENT NEEDS ARE MORE SUBSTANTIAL THAN A LOT OF OTHER PARKS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE.
THIS CAN GET INTO THE MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO ESTABLISH A, LIKE A TEN YEAR CAPITAL PLAN AND START UNDERSTANDING WHERE THESE THINGS MAY BE NEEDED OUT IN THE FUTURE TO GIVE OURSELVES A LOT OF RUNWAY TO START WORKING TOWARDS HOW WE'RE GOING TO SOLVE FOR THAT. THERE ARE ITEMS THAT EVERY GOLF COURSE DEALS WITH. THEY HAVE USEFUL LIVES, AND EVENTUALLY THE BILL COMES DUE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
BUT AND THE CLUBHOUSE AS WELL YOU KNOW, IT'S AN OLD BUILDING.
THERE'S YOU KNOW, IT REQUIRES MAINTENANCE EVERY YEAR.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ASBESTOS UPSTAIRS. THE BASEMENT IS NOT REALLY USABLE.
EVERYBODY LOVES THE CHARM, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ISSUES WITH OLD BUILDINGS LIKE THAT.
A COUPLE OF THINGS. NUMBER ONE, THE ENTHUSIASM OF THE PEOPLE THERE, KIM AND EVERYTHING THEY'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT, THEY'VE GOT AN INVESTMENT IN IT, WHICH IS REALLY NICE TO SEE.
SECOND THING IS GORDY HAD MENTIONED WHEN WE WERE GOING ALONG THAT EVERY SUPERINTENDENT WOULD MAYBE CHANGE STUFF JUST TO CHANGE. AND WE REALLY DO NEED A MASTER PLAN. I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THAT I CAME AWAY WITH.
SO THAT THINGS JUST DON'T HAPPEN HAPHAZARDLY.
AND THE OTHER THING WAS THAT THE FOOD TRUCK IS A REVENUE GENERATOR AND JUST AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION.
[00:40:09]
KIM FELT IT WOULD PAY FOR ITSELF IN A YEAR. AND IT COULD ALSO BE A COMMUNITY ASSET TO BRING IT TO OTHER THINGS.SO I JUST THINK THERE'S SOME EXCITEMENT, THINGS THAT COULD BE DONE.
SO KIM HAS DONE A LOT OF WORK ON THIS FOOD TRUCK CONCEPT AND WE SAY FOOD TRUCK.
IT'S THE MOST RECENT VERSION WAS ACTUALLY A TRAILER.
SO AND SHE HAD A BUDGET FOR A RENTAL FOR A YEAR.
I THINK THERE'S A BY RENTING IT, THAT'S A LOW COST WAY TO KIND OF FEEL IT OUT.
AND IF IT DOESN'T WORK, IT DOESN'T WORK. BUT IT COULD BE USED IN OTHER AREAS OF OUR PARK SYSTEM.
YOU KNOW, SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GOING OUT AND BUYING A FANCY FOOD TRUCK.
IT'S A PRETTY MODEST INVESTMENT RELATIVE TO THE POTENTIAL ROI.
AND KIM, YOU KNOW, HAS TALKED ABOUT HAVING TO TURN AWAY CERTAIN EVENTS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THAT GREAT NEW PAVILION AND THERE'S SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, WELL, THERE'S NO FOOD THERE. WELL, WE'RE NOT REALLY GOING TO PREPARE TO CATER OUR OWN THING, SO WE'LL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
SO THERE ARE LIMITATIONS RIGHT NOW ON THE REVENUE SIDE WITHOUT HAVING FOOD.
THEY DID A STUDY UPON THE RENOVATIONS THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE HAVE DONE TO THAT BUILDING WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH MORE THAN THE BUILDING IS. SO THAT'S REALLY NOT AN OPTION. THE FOOD TRUCK WAS KIND OF AN ALTERNATE WAY TO STILL HAVE FOOD AT THE GOLF COURSE, BUT NOT HAVE TO SPEND THAT MUCH ON THE RENOVATING.
IT'S LIKE HOT DOGS AND YEAH, YEAH. FOR FOOD TRUCK, WOULD IT BE ABLE TO BE UTILIZED AS PROBABLY A PROPANE GAS AND MAYBE A PLUG IN ELECTRIC, NOT RUNNING A GENERATOR OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFICS. I WOULD ASSUME SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I MEAN, YEAH. SO THE PORTABLE, THE FOOD TRUCK CART, IT WOULD BE ELECTRIC. SO IT WOULD PLUG IN.
SO WHAT WE HAD UNFORTUNATELY LAST LAST SUMMER WE HAD A TREE COME DOWN AND TAKE DOWN OUR, ONE OF OUR POWER LINES CONNECTING TO THE SHED. SO WHEN THE ELECTRIC, WE HAD THE ELECTRICIAN COME BACK OUT TO PUT THAT UP, WE KIND OF JUST HAD HIM AT THAT TIME UPGRADE THE OUTLET WHERE THE FOOD TRUCK WOULD POTENTIALLY GO. SO THAT'S NOW ABLE TO BE ABLE TO USE TO BE USED IF THAT HAPPENS.
BUT THAT WAS JUST LIKE AN UPGRADE OF AN OLD SYSTEM THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE DONE ANYWAY.
SO AND EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE ON OUR THREE PEOPLE TO PLAY GOLF, I DON'T THINK WE'LL BE TURNING IN THE RECEIPTS. SO I'LL BE OKAY WITH THAT. [LAUGHTER] BEST DEAL IN TOWN.
ANY MORE ON THE GOLF COURSE FROM THE SUBCOMMITTEE OR THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION.
WELL, I THINK IT'S I REALLY WANT TO APPLAUD YOU TO GO TO THE GOLF COURSE AND GO TO WHERE THE STAFF IS AND START THERE, VERSUS THINK WE CAN DO THINGS WITHOUT KNOWING THAT.
CAN YOU GET THAT TO THIS SUBCOMMITTEE? BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY WOULD LIKE THAT TO UNDERSTAND.
YEAH. IF THAT AND HOW MUCH OF THAT'S ACTIVE OR NOT.
BUT THERE HAS BEEN SOME PREVIOUS WORK THAT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
YEAH. THANK YOU. YEAH. ONE OTHER THING, JUST AS AN ENTERPRISE FUND, THE GOLF COURSE IS SO UNIQUE BECAUSE IT IS A REVENUE GENERATING ENTITY, BUT TO WHATEVER EXTENT WE CAN GET VISIBILITY ON THE ENTERPRISE FUND, DOES THE MONEY COME BACK INTO IT AND DOES IT GET REINVESTED? HOW IS THAT? THE GOAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO MAKE THAT COURSE STAND UP ON ITS OWN TWO FEET.
YES WE HAVE. I MEAN, WE HAVE THE BREAKDOWN. SO I THINK IF YOU WERE AT IF YOU WATCHED THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING WITH THE AUDIT, PART OF THE AUDIT WAS OF BOTH THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND CLEANING THE GOLF COURSE.
SO THAT'S BROKEN DOWN. IT'S NOT LIKE A SECRET.
OKAY. YOU GUYS WANT THAT. I CAN DEFINITELY GET IT TO YOU. YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT.
GOOD. EXCELLENT. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND PROJECT SUPPORT, MIKE.
YEAH. I SAT IN ON A MEETING THE, TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND THERE'S, IT'S A REALLY A SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
THERE WAS MEMBERS OF THE ROTARY THERE PEOPLE FROM THE LIONS CLUB.
[00:45:03]
AND YOU KNOW, CITY COUNCIL AND STAFF WAS ALL THERE, AND THEY PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF THINGS OF HOW THEY GET FORWARD. BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THEY TALKED ABOUT WAS THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING OR WHATEVER.WHAT KIND OF THEME THEY MIGHT WANT TO RUN. AND THEY SET UP A COUPLE OF SUBCOMMITTEES FROM THERE TO WORK ON THE OUTSIDE PART OF IT, THE INSIDE PART OF IT, AND THE ACTIVITIES AND THAT KIND OF THING.
AND I THINK THEY'RE WELL ON THEIR WAY. AND THERE'S BEEN A SECOND MEETING SET UP ALREADY TO FURTHER WORK ALONG ON THAT SO THAT THEY'RE READY FOR THAT EVENT WHEN IT HAPPENS.
WHAT ARE THEY ASKING OF THE PARKS COMMISSION? WELL, THEY HAD A ROOM FOR VOLUNTEERS ON SOME OF THESE SUBCOMMITTEES, AND I TOOK THE INITIATIVE, I SHOULD SAY, AND NOMINATED JACOB TO ONE OF THE COMMITTEES.
[LAUGHTER] I STAYED AWAY FROM IT MYSELF, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE'S PROBABLY NOT AVAILABLE, SO IT'S OUTSIDE STUFF. AND I'M NOT SURE IT WAS ANYTHING I'M GOING TO BE MUCH HELP WITH, BUT THERE ARE SOME OF THOSE SUBCOMMITTEES AND I THINK ADAM MIGHT BE A GOOD PERSON FOR ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO GET INVOLVED IN THAT, TO GET UPDATED WHEREVER THEY'RE AT WITH RESOURCES.
YEAH, THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES. A LOT OF IT IS THROUGH, YOU KNOW, THE SUBCOMMITTEE WORKING ON DIFFERENT ASPECTS TO GET SPONSORS TO GET DIFFERENT GROUPS INVOLVED. I THINK A BIG PART FOR THE COMMISSION THAT REALLY COULD CONTRIBUTE IS JUST VOLUNTEERING AT THE EVENT.
AND IF WE WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING SET UP THAT WE WANT TO DO, IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
IT COULD BE AN INFORMATION TABLE, JUST ABOUT PARKS, OR IT COULD BE HELPING OUT.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE PLAN TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, SANTA WILL BE HERE.
THEY'LL BE A KIDS AREA. THERE WILL BE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BE GOING ON THAT, YOU KNOW, WE COULD CONTRIBUTE BY VOLUNTEERING.
YEAH. YEAH. GOOD. THANK YOU. HACKBERRY PARK. FOR HACKBERRY, I DON'T THINK THERE'S A LOT OF NEW NEWS. THE PLAN HAS BEEN APPROVED. LAST MEETING.
IT ENDED UP BEING KIND OF A FIVE ZERO VOTE FOR KIND OF FENCING ADJUSTMENTS.
JOE, I THINK YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT, BUT THAT MIGHT GO THROUGH A CHANGE ORDER PROCESS.
AND I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT CITY COUNCIL YOU KNOW WHAT THEIR EXACT TAKE ON THAT IS.
EVERY CITY COUNCIL MEMBER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FIVE ZERO VOTE, AND I STILL KIND OF GET ONESIE TWOSIE COMMENTS OF FOLKS LIKING, YOU KNOW, THAT SUGGESTION. SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC ON WHAT THE NEXT STEP WILL BE.
I CAN GO IN A LITTLE BIT JUST TO KIND OF SPEAK SHORTLY.
SO THIS THURSDAY IS THE DAY WE'RE RECEIVING BIDS.
SO IT'S THAT'S WHEN WE'LL RECEIVE THEM. WHEN ONCE HOPEFULLY WE GET A GOOD ONE, THEN IT WILL BE BROUGHT TO COUNCIL ON MONDAY FOR APPROVAL AT THAT POINT IS WHERE SO THE FENCING FOR THE FIELDS ALREADY KIND OF WAS ADJUSTED, BUT AT COUNCIL'S DIRECTION COULD BE ADJUSTED MORE.
THE ONE THAT WE WEREN'T REALLY ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITH WAS FOR THERE'S TWO ADDITIONAL PARTS OF THE BID THAT ARE SEPARATE FROM JUST THE PARK RENOVATION.
AND THEN FOR THE RENOVATION OF THE BASKETBALL COURT, SPORT COURT.
SO WHEN THAT WENT INTO THE BID, IT WAS KIND OF A SHORT TIME FRAME.
SO IT WENT IN WITH JUST WHAT BOLTON AND [INAUDIBLE] KIND OF PROPOSED.
SO FENCED IN AND KIND OF LIKE AND. SO THAT ONE WOULD, YOU KNOW, IF IT DOES GET APPROVED BY COUNCIL IF THEY WANT. I THINK THAT WOULD GO THROUGH THE BIGGEST CHANGE WITH THE FENCING BEING TAKEN OUT.
BUT THAT WAS INCLUDED. SO I THINK ANYONE WHO SAW THE BID WOULD SEE WHY.
WHY IS THE FENCING STILL THERE. BECAUSE I THINK, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY KIND OF DESIRE TO ADD THAT MUCH FENCING TO THAT AMENITY AT THE PARK. SO BUT ALL OF THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED WHEN IT IS BROUGHT TO COUNCIL ON MONDAY.
SO WE'LL THAT WILL BE THE TOPIC OF THAT. SO I THINK.
[00:50:03]
FOR CLARITY, CAN I JUST ASK THOUGH, IT SOUNDS LIKE WITH CITY COUNCIL JUNE 8TH, THEY'LL BE DECIDING.TO ACCEPT A BID. YEAH. TO ACCEPT THE BID. DID THE BID INCLUDE OUTFIELD FENCING OR NOT INCLUDE OUTFIELD FENCES? YEAH. SO I THINK IT DOES INCLUDE SOME FENCING.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT HAS. THAT'S WHAT IT END UP WILL BEING.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE YOU CAN SAY, OH YEAH, TAKE THAT OUT, TAKE THAT OUT, AND THEY'LL ADJUST THE BID SO THEY'LL HAVE THAT BROKEN DOWN.
CURRENTLY BID WENT OUT WITH OUTFIELD FENCING.
AND THEN THAT WILL BE DETERMINED BY COUNCIL. SOME OUTFIELD FENCING.
IT DOESN'T WE ADJUSTED IT. WE WERE ABLE TO ADJUST IT A LITTLE WITH THE ENGINEER.
SO IT DOESN'T GO ALL THE WAY, BUT THAT DOES. IT COULD BE ADJUSTED MORE.
WELL, I'LL SAY JUST AS A ASSISTANT SECOND GRADE BASEBALL COACH, SONUS INTERIORS.
AND THEN THE OUTFIELD FENCING WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, JUST PLAYING ACTIVELY WITH YOUTH KIDS, YOU KNOW, WOULDN'T ADD A LOT OF VALUE FROM BEING ABLE TO PLAY THE SPORT WITH, YOU KNOW, THE YOUTH LEAGUES.
AND THEN I DO HERE KIND OF AS THE HACKBERRY REPRESENTATIVE, I HAVE BEEN HEARING, YOU KNOW, FOLKS ARE EXCITED TO HAVE REDUCED FENCING AND WHICH INCLUDES KIND OF THE BASKETBALL AREA AS WELL.
AND SO AND I DO GET THE QUESTIONS, WELL, WHERE DO FOLKS STAND.
AND I JUST CONVEY THAT WE DID HAVE THE VOTE HERE.
SO THANK YOU FOR FACILITATING THAT. AND THEN I DID MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS COMMUNICATED TO, TO ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE MAYOR. SO.
CORRECT. YEP. SO JUST TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR, THEN, WHEN THIS GOES TO CITY COUNCIL ON MONDAY, THE OPTION OF NO FENCING FOR THE BASKETBALL COURT, IF THAT GOES FORWARD IS A CONSIDERATION.
AND THEN FENCING FOR THE BASEBALL FIELD IN THE INFIELD ONLY IS THE CONSIDERATION.
AND THEY WILL DECIDE. YEAH. OKAY. YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT.
YEAH. GOOD. PARK PROMOTION, PROMOTE AWARENESS AND USE OF OUR PARKS.
BRUCE IS TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS. I HAD ONE QUESTION, I GUESS, WHAT'S THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LOCAL PAPER? DO WE HAVE ANY AS A CITY? DO WE DO ANYTHING WITH THE LOCAL PAPER? YEAH. SO DO YOU MEAN WHICH PAPER I GUESS. THE LAKER PIONEER OR THE SUN YEAH. SO WE, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE AN ARTICLE ON THE ONE THAT JUST CAME OUT KIND OF ABOUT OUR LAST COUNCIL MEETING.
SO THEY DO, DO STORIES, BUT IT'S KIND OF UP TO THEM WHAT STORIES THEY WANT TO GO AFTER.
ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO PUT IN, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR KIND OF LIKE ADVERTISEMENT.
SO I MEAN, I'M OLD SCHOOL AND WELL, IT'S ON OUR WEBSITE AND THIS IS ON OUR WEBSITE.
WELL, IT TAKES FOREVER FOR ME TO GET THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
I LOVE LOOKING AT THE PAPER AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO RUN AN ARTICLE MAYBE EVERY OTHER WEEK ON A PARK OF OUR CHOICE. I MEAN, I CAN APPROACH THEM. RACHEL, YOU KNOW, OUR COMMUNICATIONS PERSON HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP.
A PARK WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE A STARTER. A GOOD PLACE WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE SOMETHING THEY WOULD DO, BUT AN ARTICLE OCCASIONALLY ABOUT HIGHLIGHTING A PARK, I SEE.
I DON'T SEE WHY NOT. OKAY. YEAH, THAT'S DOESN'T HURT TO ASK AT LEAST.
YEAH, YEAH. BRUCE, IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO MEET WITH RACHEL, OUR COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST, TO START AND ASK HER WHAT, WHAT DOES THE PAPER LIKE TO PRODUCE? AND THE OTHER THING I THINK WE COULD TALK ABOUT IS THE NEWSLETTER THAT THE CITY SENDS OUT.
AND I KNOW JOE TRIES TO PUT SOMETHING IN THERE EVERY.
YEAH. RIGHT. SO THAT'S ANOTHER PLACE WE CAN BE I HAVE A STORY DUE NEXT WEEK FOR IT. SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHICH PARK I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT FOR THIS NEWSLETTER.
OKAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.
YEAH. I'M A PRETTY BIG FAN OF THE LAKE PIONEER AND JUST ALL LOCAL PAPERS.
AND SO I THINK IT IS GOOD THAT YOU, I LIKE THAT YOU BROUGHT IT UP.
I ALSO JUST HAVING KIDS INVOLVED IN SPORTS. IT REALLY IS THE COMMUNITY THAT NEEDS TO CREATE THOSE
[00:55:01]
ARTICLES. IF YOU LOOK, IT'S ALWAYS KIND OF FUN TO SEE, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE YOUR KID, IF THEY'RE PARTICIPATING IN A SPORT, YOU KNOW, THEY END UP IN THE PAPER AND MAYBE A LITTLE BLURB ABOUT A TIME THEY GOT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITHOUT KIND OF VOLUNTEER WRITING.
SO FOR US TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE A LITTLE PUT SOME EFFORT INTO PROMOTING OUR PARKS WHEN IT MAKES GOOD SENSE IS GREAT, AND ADDING CONTENT AND VALUE TO MAKE THOSE LOCAL PAPERS, OUR LOCAL PAPER, YOU KNOW, MORE INTERESTING TO THE TO THE NEIGHBORS. I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING TO DO SO, BUT IT DOES TAKE, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE'VE OUR SWIMMING TEAM ALWAYS GETS AN ARTICLE IN THERE, BUT YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF SPORTS IN THE LAKE PIONEER THAT ARE MISSING.
AND SO FOR US, YOU KNOW, WITH PARKS WOULD BE GREAT.
AND I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO MENTION THAT HOW IT IS REALLY, YOU KNOW, UP TO US LOCALLY TO MAKE THAT THE BEST PAPER THAT IT CAN BE SO. IS THE LAKER PIONEER, THE CITY NEWSPAPER OR THE SUN SAILOR, JOE? PIONEER. SO THAT WOULD BE THE PAPER BRUCE TO PROBABLY FOCUS ON BRUCE THE LAKER VERSUS THE OTHER ONE.
OKAY, COOL. SUN SAILOR IS KIND OF WAYZATA MINNETONKA I THINK.
OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. GOOD. OKAY. THE LAST GOAL IS THE MONARCH PLEDGE, AND THAT'S JACOB AND I.
WE'RE HAVING A CALL ON THURSDAY TO TALK ABOUT THINGS BEYOND WHAT HAVE WHAT HAS BEEN DECIDED TO DO.
AND THE FIRST THINGS YOU'LL SEE IS A MONARCH OR A POLLINATOR NATIVE GARDEN AROUND THE FLAGPOLE HERE AT CITY HALL, AS WELL AS AROUND THE MONUMENT SIGN, WHICH IS THAT BRICK SIGN OFF OF OLD CRYSTAL BAY.
JOE'S TAKING POINT ON THAT, AND WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT SIGNAGE AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE THAT.
MAYBE THAT COULD BE YOUR NEWSLETTER ARTICLE ABOUT THE COMING OF THE POLLINATOR PARK.
I THINK THAT AFTER. I'D LIKE TO DO IS AFTER. AFTER.
OKAY. AND THEN ALL THE HARD WORK AND. OKAY. IT'S THERE SO PEOPLE CAN VISIT IT.
I THINK THAT'LL BE GREAT, BUT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO PUT ON WHEN IT'S READY.
MIGHT BE A FUN THING TO GIVE YOU A LIST OF. YEAH.
OKAY, THAT'S THE LAST GOAL. ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I THINK THAT'S THE END OF THE AGENDA. IS THAT CORRECT? THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR THAT. IT'S A GREAT UPDATE. NOW I WANT TO YOU DID THE STAFF UPDATE. YES. CHAIR REPORT, I HAVE NOTHING, BUT I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
[Chair Report]
I WANTED MIKE TO GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE CITY'S DISCUSSION ON TREE ORDINANCES.AND THEN REALLY JUST GO ROUND ROBIN AND SEE WHO ELSE THINGS TO SHARE.
[Commissioner Reports]
SO WE'LL START WITH GORDY. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SHARE? NO.JUST. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. MOLLIE. I'M GOOD.
JACOB. I JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN OUT TO SOME OF THE PARKS, YOU KNOW, THAT I'D BE THE LEAD COMMISSIONER, JUST AS ASSIGNED, AND JUST NICE TO SEE HIM WAKING UP AFTER A LONG WINTER'S NAP.
AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST LOOKING REALLY GOOD.
BUT PARKS ARE A GREAT ASSET TO THE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S ALL. I LOVE THAT WAKING UP. THEY ARE. YEAH.
THAT'S GREAT. BRUCE, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD? NO, IT'S THIS IS MY SECOND MEETING, I THINK, AND SOME OF IT'S BEEN OVERWHELMING.
I THINK I'M STARTING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
SO. WELCOME TO OUR WORLD. OKAY, MIKE, I KNOW YOU WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE TREE ORDINANCE.
YEAH. I SAT IN ON THE I BELIEVE IT WAS A WORK SESSION FOR THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE STAFF WAS THERE.
JACQUELINE, IF I MISREPRESENT ANYTHING, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
BUT EFFECTIVELY, THIS ONE MEMBER OF THE STAFF HAD PUT THE HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE VARIOUS TREE ORDINANCES THAT ARE IN NEARBY CITIES. AND I THINK TWO OF PARTICULAR RESIDENTS WITH THEM WAS WAYZATA AND EXCELSIOR.
[01:00:07]
AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS COMPARING WHAT THESE OTHER CITIES ARE DOING WITH TREE ORDINANCES TO TO WHAT ORONO DOES.AND, AS I UNDERSTAND IT OTHER THAN WHEN THEY'RE CREATING PROPERTY LINES, THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THERE EXISTS A TREE ORDINANCE AT ALL IS WITHIN 75FT OF A SHORELINE ON ANY LAKE IN THE CITY.
SO WHAT THE CITY, THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, IN MY OPINION, WERE VERY KEEN TO ASK THE STAFF TO DEVELOP AN ORDINANCE BASED ON THE ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE EXISTING FOR EXCELSIOR AND WAYZATA, AND BRING IT BACK TO THE CITY COUNCIL SO THAT THEY COULD DISCUSS IT AND MAYBE MODIFY IT A LITTLE BIT THEMSELVES.
BUT I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF ENERGY BEHIND THAT.
YOU KNOW, WITH WHAT'S GOING ON WITH, WITH THE ASH TREES, OF COURSE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT MAYBE A PAST TIME PERIOD MIGHT HAVE BEEN. BUT RIGHT NOW, I THINK THE CITY COUNCIL IS INTENT TO REMEDY THE FACT THAT THERE'S NO, NO ORDINANCE. NOW, I DON'T KNOW HOW STRICT IT'S GOING TO BE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW LENIENT IT WILL BE. THERE'LL BE SOME DISTINCTION BETWEEN WHAT THEY CALL HERITAGE TREES, WHICH ARE BIG FROM THE TREES THAT ARE, NOT HERITAGE TREES.
AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING THAT THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON.
IS THAT PRETTY GOOD? OKAY. THANK YOU. WHO'S LISTENING? I HAD JUST TWO MORE THINGS. I APOLOGIZE. I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THEM. ONE IS A TEAM TRIP TO BIG ISLAND AND A TEAM TRIP TO LOWRY.
AND WE WANT TO JUST TAG ALONG WHOEVER'S AVAILABLE WHEN YOU DO GO OUT THERE.
SO CAN YOU SEND OUT SOME NOTICE ABOUT WHEN YOU'RE GOING OR TO RE PICK A DATE? SURE. YEAH. LOWRY IS MUCH EASIER. I WOULD CAUTION OUR PONTOON IS OLDER THAN ME, BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY GO ON. IT SOUNDS FUN.
WE HAVE TO BRING OUR OWN SEATS SO. WE CAN DEFINITELY WE JUST WAIT FOR A NICE DAY, NICE CALM DAY ON THE LAKE, AND WE CAN GET OUT THERE AND TAKE A TOUR AROUND LOWRY.
LOWRY WOODS IS A LITTLE EASIER AND WE CAN GET OUT THERE AND TAKE YOU GUYS AROUND.
BUT YEAH, IF WE WANT TO JUST PICK A DATE THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE, BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOU GUYS OUT.
SO DO YOU WANT TO PICK THE DATE? DO YOU WANT US TO OFFER YOU THE DATE? I CAN THROW SOME DATES TO DO IT BECAUSE THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT. AND TO GET OUT THERE.
DOES THE CITY MOW THE TRAILS? AT BIG ISLAND? BIG ISLAND? YEAH. YEAH. SO AT BIG ISLAND, WE HAVE A CONTAINER LIKE A STORAGE CONTAINER THAT'S OUT THERE.
SO WE HAVE A MOWER THAT'S OUT THERE ALL YEAR.
SO WE JUST NEED TO WINTERIZE IT. AND THEN IT JUST WE'RE OUT.
THAT WAS LAST WEEK. IT SEEMS LIKE A MONTH AGO. WE WERE OUT LAST WEEK. SO WE MOWED THE LAWN, OPENED UP THE BATHROOMS, CLEANED THOSE UP AND JUST DID SOME CLEANUP OF THE LITTLE INFORMATION BUILDING THAT'S THERE.
YOU WANT TO STAY ON THE TRAILS OUT THERE FOR SURE.
OKAY. THAT'S GREAT. I THINK THE MEETING CAN BE ADJOURNED.
IS THAT CORRECT? IS THERE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. THANK YOU BRUCE.
IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. THANK YOU. THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT.
OH MY GOD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME TONIGHT? GOTTA VOTE.
LET'S VOTE. THOSE IN FAVOR OF ADJOURNING THE MEETING SAY AYE.
AYE. THOSE NOT IN FAVOR OF IT SAME SIGN. THAT PASSED SIX TO THAT PASSED 6 TO 0.
THE MEETING'S ADJOURNED AT 6:08 OR 7:08.
