SUBJECT: RESOLUTION #C- 368 -82 - REMOVAL OF SOD - ORONO PARK
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That this report be received; and
2. That Council concur with the opinion of the Orono Athletic
Association that the removal of the sod on the south diamond
of Orono Park is unnecessary at this time; and
3. Recommend that the south diamond be brought up to standards
for safe play; and
4. That the money approved in the 1982 Capital Budget be used
for the upgrading of the diamond in question.
BACKGROUND & COMMENT:
After careful discussion with staff regarding the removal of sod on the
south diamond of Orono Park, it is recommended that the area remain as a
practice diamond for tots. There is a possibility that soccer would be
played in the evenings, although we were not aware that the Orono Athletic
Association were contemplating using the field for soccer in the near
future.
The request for sod removal was initiated by a minor accident due to a
ball hitting a low area of the in field, resulting in an untrue bounce.
It is the Department's intention through recommendation #3 that the play

areas which will eliminate-safety hazzards.
