Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 2 <br />May 12, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared the plans for the Trott Brook Tennis Courts have been sent to <br />New Look Construction and paving contractors for quotes that will be due by the <br />end of June. The plan is to go to the City Council meeting the end of July for <br />construction approval and the construction will take about a month to complete. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared that he sent the commissioners an email from Sherburne County <br />regarding the expansion of the Great Northern Trail. The county would like to get <br />feedback from the commission members. The next meeting will be on Wednesday, <br />June 16 at the Princeton Great Northern Railway Depot. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared pictures with the Orono Park update. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked if the boardwalk along beach will be concrete. He <br />also asked for clarification about how much soil will be removed at the tennis court. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker said the boardwalk will be a 10-foot concrete boardwalk. There will be 3- <br />4 inches of soil removed after the existing tennis court is removed and will confirm <br />that is correct. <br /> <br />Councilmember Wagner asked for more information on Orono timeline and when <br />does the contractor think it will be finished. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker said the completion date is not until October and the project is still on <br />track for this year. <br /> <br />Commissioner Niziolek asked if there are any segments that will be opened earlier. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker said it is too early to tell. <br /> <br />11. Announcements <br /> <br /> Chair Williams shared he has been working with Tim, Josh, and Karen on scheduling <br />fields since the school district is down six 100yd fields, and one JV baseball field due <br />to construction. He wanted to thank them and the whole staff for their hard work. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Anderson shared we have some potential Eagle Scout candidates. <br /> <br />12.
