• <br /> • <br /> • <br /> October 22, 2013 • <br /> • <br /> Michael Hecker, Director <br /> Elk River Park and Recreation Department <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River MN 55330 <br /> Proposed Name Change of a Current Elk River Park <br /> Current Name: Orono Softball Complex <br /> Proposed Name: Dave Anderson Athletic Complex <br /> Attached is written documentation of the volunteer efforts of Dave Anderson in the City <br /> of Elk River. Almost all of these volunteer activities were related to Park and Recreation <br /> activities. Dave has spent thousands of hours creating, improving and maintaining our <br /> park system. <br /> The Orono Softball Complex was one of Dave's pet projects. He helped develop it into <br /> one of the top softball facilities in the metro area. (See attachment for details of Orono <br /> improvments). <br /> You cannot help but be overwhelmed when reading all the projects Dave has <br /> accomplished in the last 30 years to help make our park system what it is today. <br /> His wife, Eileen,can vouch for the attached information, but I don't think that will be • <br /> necessary. I can vouch for all the things Dave has done. There are plenty of other Elk <br /> River citizens who could do the same. His level of volunteer effort justifies naming an <br /> Elk River park after him—and not waiting until he is deceased to do it. <br /> I respectfully ask that you forward my request on to the Park and Recreation Commission <br /> for their approval and then on to the City Council for consideration. <br /> Thank you for your time. <br /> sincerely, <br /> • <br /> John J. Dietz <br /> 13319 Riverview Drive <br /> Elk River MN 55330 <br />
