qity of iver July 20, 2000 Mr. Perry Coonce Executive Director Minnesota Sports Federation 592 Dodge Avenue NW Elk River, Minnesota 55330 Dear Perry: As you know the YMCA has contacted the city regarding doing some programming in Elk River this year. In the past two months, city and school representatives have met with the YMCA staff three times. In addition to programming, a large part of the meeting time has been spent on the possibility of having the YMCA construct a facility in the city. YMCA representatives have indicated to the city that if programming is successful and a feasibility study indicates positive results, then construction of a facility in Elk River is a strong possibility. One of the big community needs, a pool facility, would be part of a YMCA project and this would be a benefit to everyone. The city is also looking at addressing some of its space needs if a YMCA project moves forward. In a cooperative effort with the YMCA, it is possible that the city senior center needs could be addressed as well as the large banquet room needs for such things as weddings and conferences. Finally, the school community education department is also looking at the possibility of participating in such a construction project. To everyone involved, a facility seems to be worth investigating. The first step is a feasibility study and it is anticipated that the city and the YMCA would jointly fund a study in the near future. YMCA representatives have looked at two sites in the city of Elk River and they are very interested in the site that the city offered to the Minnesota Sports Federation (MSF) in its 1996 letter of intent. As you know, this letter 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
