SHERBURNE COUNTY <br />HISTORICAL SOCIETY <br />13122 First St. Becker, MN 55308 <br /> <br />July 8, 1997 <br /> <br />612-261-4433 ~ 612-441-1880 ~ 1-800-932-2066 <br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />c/o Pat Klaers, Administrator <br />13065 Orono Road <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Duitsman and Members of the Elk River City Council: <br /> <br />In May, Bob Minton and John Oliver, board members of the Sherburne County Historical Society, <br />approached the City of Elk River to ask for help in funding a new Sherburne County Heritage <br />Center. We wish to again make a formal request to the City. <br /> <br />As outlined by Bob and John, we are requesting a total of $36,000 which could be pledged over a <br />three or five year period. This is a prorated amount based on the City's population. A three year <br />pledge would amount to $12000 per year and a five year pledge would amount to $7200 per year. <br /> <br />We hope you share in our belief that this is an important project that will benefit the residents of <br />Elk River and the residents of Sherburne County. Clear Lake and Livonia Townships have shown <br />their support through a $5000 and a $3000 pledge, respectively. <br /> <br />We realize that such a request requires some deliberation and also that the City must consider <br />such requests in its budget. Either Bob or John will be contacting you shortly to answer any <br />questions you may have and to find out what next steps are necessary to help the City make its <br />determination. <br /> <br />We thank you for your past support and are hopeful for your support in building the heritage <br />center. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Kurt Kragness <br />Executive Director <br /> <br /> <br />
