We have cancelled the Cold Bear <br /> Challenge Hillside Mountain Bike Race on Saturday,January 4. <br /> Houlton Farm Property Acquisition <br /> We are still waiting to hear back from the DNR on the grant to acquire the Houlton property. <br /> Riverfront Concert Series 2014 <br /> The lineup for the 2014 Riverfront Conceit Series has been completed. Once contracts have been <br /> accepted,we will announce the bands. The concert series will be ten consecutive concerts from June 12 <br /> to August 21 (except for July 3). It promises to be an exciting lineup with half of the bands coming to <br /> Elk River for the first time. <br /> Parks and Recreation Capital Project Requests <br /> As Parks and Recreation Commission members are well aware,we have been receiving many requests <br /> the past year for various projects such as additional athletic fields and field lighting, a skate park, new <br /> playgrounds, a new park,trail improvements and other projects. We need to define priorities and <br /> direction through the parks and recreation master planning process. Until this can happen later in 2014, <br /> I recommend that staff and the Commission place any requests and any requests for action on hold. <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2014\01-08-14 PRC Packet Directors Report 1-8-13.docx <br />
