DISTRICT 728 _ o r bOMM11111iYEdll d�aCifelongtea°' 1230 NW School Street • Elk River,Minnesota • 55330-2506 • (612) 241-3520 18 July 2001 To: Mayor Klinzing & City Council Members From: Charlie Blesener, Administrator of Commu i y Education Re: Information on examples of jointly planned facilities Enclosed with this memo is information on a few facility projects that have been completed in Minnesota in the past few years which are examples of cooperative ventures between school districts, municipalities and/or municipal HRA's, and in some cases, additional partners. Some of this information may have previously been shared with the council at one of the joint meetings with the school board, but I wanted to be sure you had it in advance of your July 23, 2001 meeting. As a follow-up to the joint City Council/School Board meeting of April 30, 2001, I will be in attendance at your meeting on July 23. My intention is to update the council on the planned Family/Art Center, including preliminary concepts about the facility itself, what programs are expected to be housed there, community spaces in the facility, how the arts component will be incorporated, funding mechanisms and the approximate timeline for the facility. In addition, I will invite the City of Elk River to consider the planned Family/Art Center as a viable building to also accommodate future Aft municipal needs such as large meeting spaces, space for senior programming, etc. Finally I will also ask the City of Elk River to assist us in securing a suitable site in Elk River for the facility. I look forward to beginning a dialogue with you on the 23rd that I hope will result in a quality community facility in Elk River.
