-2- <br /> • <br /> With this being an ongoing problem, which both the female behind the counter and Dave Anderson <br /> identified,why isn't it posted? A couple of small stakes with a sign stating "Please stay off the <br /> infields" would alleviate and possibly eliminate this problem. <br /> In a return call from Dave Anderson, after apparently following-up with the volunteers, he responded <br /> only to the trash can and to the supposed reason this male volunteer threw the trash can was because of <br /> bees. THIS IS IRRELEVENT and a poor attempt to justify the actions in question. As a volunteer <br /> myself, volunteers need to be people-orientated, responsible, and have the ability to deal with all kinds <br /> of people and situations. Although my 1 '/2 year old doesn't really know what happened, I left Elk <br /> River and this park with a very upset and confused 9 year old, afraid to return to this park. Another <br /> individual that witnessed this behavior also went to the concession stand to express is disapproval. <br /> I sincerely hope that all volunteers that the City of Elk River recruits is better trained, screened, etc. <br /> prior to having direct contact with the public. Should this happen again, it could lead to much more <br /> serious actions, legally. <br /> I would very much like to attend the Park and Recreation meeting on Wednesday evening when this is <br /> addressed, but as I mentioned, I too am a volunteer and will be teaching my 5th grade religion class at <br /> • St. Henry's in Monticello unless I can get another qualified volunteer. <br /> Written response from the Park and Recreation Commission and from the City of Elk River in relation <br /> to the volunteer's behavior and to the correction or next steps in posting off-limit areas in the ballpark, <br /> is greatly appreciated. I can be reached at the address on the top of the first page or by telephoning any <br /> of the numbers listed below. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> d <br /> Mary A.
