Community leaders may include either public or private sector individuals who reside in or do business in Elk River. These interviews offer an opportunity for the early involvement of boards and commissions not otherwise represented on the Task Force. Other potential parties for involvement include Elk River school officials,county commissioner, major employers, residential neighborhood association leaders, business owners and civic leaders. The purpose of the meetings is to allow these individuals the opportunity to discuss the community outside of the normal public meeting forum. In past comprehensive plans,HKGi has found that information provided during these discussions is more candid and objective because we are looked at as a third party rather than being a"representative"of the City of Elk River. • 2.6 Meet with Task Force HKGi will meet with the Task Force to review the results the community leader interviews, demographic analysis and population projections. 2.7 Deliverables— Task 2 • PowerPoint presentation on demographic and economic trends • Technical memorandum on population projections and land demand analysis • Summary of community leader interviews • Monthly communications update sheet 3 Establish a Community Vision The purpose of this task will be to define the elements of a vision for the City of Elk River.
