Mr. Morris indicated that he would be presenting the <br />summary of the survey taken in Elk River by highlighting some of the <br />major findings. <br /> <br />Mr. Morris indicated that people emphasized that they liked the <br />ex-urban nature of Elk River, or the fact that Elk River was not <br />actually part of the metropolitan area and, in fact, carried a more <br />small time atmosphere. Mr. Morris indicated that when people were <br />asked what they liked least about the City the two major answers were <br />the growth of Elk River and the poor shopping facilities in Elk River. <br /> <br />Mr. Morris indicated that one area that was looked at in detail by the <br />survey was park and recreational facilities. He indicated that <br />citizen's satisfaction with the existing facilities was somewhat lower <br />than that of other areas. Mr. Morris indicated that 24% of the <br />residents are not satisfied with the park and recreational facilities <br />in Elk River and that this indicates that park and recreational <br />facilities will be a critical issue for the community over the next few <br />years. He indicated that as a result of this, it may be necessary to <br />take a look into the fu5ure and plan what types of facilities the City <br />may want or need in the next decade. <br /> <br /> <br />
