Michele Bergh <br />Elk River Community Recreation <br />Dear Michele; <br />Recently I toured the MSF site near the water tower on the west end of Elk River. The <br />site is not level enough for soccer play at this time but has great potential for field development <br />with little cost.. By leveling the site, reseeding and adding irrigation and parking sites this area <br />could develop two to three full size soccer fields. TRSA would consider participating in this <br />development in some manner. <br />I would also like to discuss with the city the development of a six to eight field soccer <br />complex with a field house in the center where indoor soccer could be played in the colder <br />months. The revenues generated from such a facility could be used to pay off any costs or <br />bonding associated with the project. TRSA would be willing to participate financially in such a <br />project. We would also set up league play along with clinics and camps to develop funds to pay <br />for the facility. Currently the NSC charges $75 to $100 an hour for field use in its facility which <br />has two small sided fields. Such a facility could also be rented to the school district for late <br />season football practice and early season baseball practice. It could be used by the city for <br />community events. We are noticing a large increase in winter indoor activities other than <br />basketball, but currently there is not enough indoor space for these programs. <br />I would be happy to discuss this further with you or the city Park and Recreation board. <br />Thanks, <br />Michael Roden, President <br />Three Rivers Soccer Association <br />
