Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend
to Council the following:
1. THAT Report No. CS -10 -96 be received; and
2. THAT the Orono Athletic Association be encouraged to apply for parking passes at
Orono Park, during weekend tournaments; and
3. THAT Mr. Ray Bester, President of Orono Athletic Association be informed of action
taken.
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At the September 30, 1996 meeting of Council, correspondence was received from Ray Bester,
President of the Orono Athletic Association (attachment #1) requesting consideration to change
the parking fee at Orono Park to a picnic fee. Subsequently, the correspondence was referred
to the Directors of Community Services and Public Works for review and preparation of a
report.
1.2 This issue stems from the fact that on occasion, during the summer, baseball tournaments are
booked into Orono Park on weekends. As members of Council are aware, a parking fee is
charged for use of the park on weekends and holidays and therefore, anyone entering the park
with a vehicle is charged the appropriate fee.
1.3 Upon review of the situation, it appears the concern raised by Mr. Bester is valid.
However, it has been the Community Services Department's practice to issue parking
passes on request for special occasions, like tournaments where participants are
permitted entry at no cost.
