The City of Otsego has approached the City of Elk River to discuss their recreational program's offerings. They wish to explore the concept of working with the Ciry of Elk River in delivering recreational programs to Otsego residents. Staff met with the Otsego Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss what recreational programming they feel would positively serve their community. Now that summer programs have for the most part started, Staff will be able to begin developing a proposal that would benefit both Elk River and Ots@eo residents. The Parrs and Recreation Department has received questions from the public regarding if the state] level government shutdown will have an impact on Elk River City Parks. We want to relay ghat the shutdown will not affect public access to Elk River City Parks. This shutdowin only affects the State park system. One way, however, that the shutdown is affectin the Elk River Pazks and Recreation Department relates to grants that have been applied~'or through the DNR. There may be a delay in the decision of two grants that have been applied for, one for Hillside Ciry Park and one for the Youth Athletic Complex.
