Develop additional support systems,funding sources,gifts,and private partnerships. <br /> e.

The rink is not <br /> inviting and is outdated. The lack of showers is also a negative. <br /> o With a relocation and upgrade in facilities recreation activities,parks, trails, and outside <br /> programs like weddings could do very well and be a win/win for Elk River. <br /> o Now is the time to move avoiding cost with an upgrade. <br /> o Need 3 sheets(Full 85x200)all indoor. <br /> o What happens to old arena/history—need more information on costs of renovations vs <br /> new. Not looking for higher fees/taxes. <br /> o Like the idea of 3rd open air arena <br /> o Keep dog park <br /> o If relocating and spending money to upgrade look at adding a third indoor sheet instead <br /> of an outdoor sheet <br /> Woodlands Trails <br /> • Develop forestry management plan 1+ <br /> • Building at Woodland Trails 1+ <br /> • Trail Connections 3+ <br /> • Develop strategies for mitigating the impacts of mining 1+ <br /> 6IPage <br />
