Parks and Facilities Naming Policy <br /> The Parks and Facilities Naming Policy as recommended by staff and the Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission was approved by City Council on November 19,2012. <br /> Elk River Librarian New Branch Manager <br /> The Elk River Library has a new Brand Manager,Will Hollerith who started on December 3. Staff <br /> was able to meet him this past week.We plan to introduce him to the Commission in the New Year. <br /> Pinewood Golf Course <br /> Mother Nature issued her curtain call on Thanksgiving Day,or,to be more accurate,slammed the <br /> door in our faces,bringing an abrupt end to the 2012 season. It was one of the longer seasons on <br /> record starting early this past March 15. A new split rail fence along the main road has been <br /> installed and the building has been winterized for the winter season. <br /> City Maintenance Facility <br /> This is an awesome new facility for Streets and Parks Maintenance. We are currently moving <br /> equipment into the new facility and staff was just recently approved to occupy. Parks Supervisor <br /> Rodney Schreifels has been spending a great deal of his time with this project. He should be able to <br /> move into his new office by the end of this month. An open house for the general public is planned <br /> for the New Year. <br /> Field & Facility Use Allocation Policy <br /> A field use allocation committee meeting is planned following the regular Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission meeting December 12. The agenda includes reviewing the latest draft of the policy that <br /> represents a consensus of the "best practices" in addressing youth sports and field use allocation. <br /> Many of the Commission members and most of the Elk River sports organizations attended the <br /> community youth sports meeting on November 29. I was pleased that most of the organizations <br /> already adhere to many of the recommended standards for youth sports. This should make the job <br /> of staff and the Committee easier. <br /> 'POWERED B ► <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2012\I2-12-12 PRC Packet\Item 9_Directors Report.docx NATURE RE <br />
