Presentation on Community Survey by Decision Resources <br /> Mayor Tralle introduced William Morris and Diane Traxler from Decision <br /> Resources. Mr. Morris indicated that he would be presenting the <br /> summary of the survey taken in Elk River by highlighting some of the <br /> major findings. <br /> Mr. Morris indicated that people emphasized that they liked the <br /> ex-urban nature of Elk River, or the fact that Elk' River was not <br /> actually part of the metropolitan area and, in fact, carried a more <br /> small time atmosphere. Mr. Morris indicated that when people were <br /> asked what they liked least about the City the two major answers were <br /> the growth of Elk River and the poor shopping facilities in Elk River. <br /> Mr. Morris indicated that one area that was looked at in detail by the <br /> survey was park and recreational facilities. He indicated that <br /> citizen's satisfaction with the existing facilities was somewhat lower <br /> than that of other areas. Mr. Morris indicated that 24% of the <br /> residents are not satisfied with the park and recreational facilities <br /> in Elk River and that this indicates that park and recreational <br /> facilities will be a critical issue for the community over the next few <br /> years. He indicated that as a result of this, it may be necessary to <br /> take a look into the future and plan what types of facilities the City <br /> may want or need in the next decade. <br />
