Venders will be directed to park their vehicles in the lot across highway 10 by the railroad tracks. (Karen thought it might encourage others to park there for farmers market if the lot was being used) Early phases of planning grand opening of Rivers Edge Commons park which will be June 15. th Holiday Celebration Recap: 100 left over bags (250 bags were passed out). Weather was cold. Very short line for Santa. Couldn’t be moved inside because of petting zoo. New company from southern Minnesota provided animals; bunnies, llamas, goats – kids could go in and pet animals which was a hit. Tree lighting: Jude Richter from the carolers church provided battery opereated candles for lighting of carolers and ambient light, prior to the tree being lit– Jennifer asked if Rivers Edge would split the cost of candles – Riversedge will pay half – motion carried. Map of Downtown for Benches, Bicycle racks and more flower pots: The Bank of Elk River provided a map of where the current planters are and suggestions for locations for benches. Amanda brought quotes for benches of different materials: wood, composite or metal. 328- 493 a piece size 4ft standard bench 50lb (recycled) frame could be green blue yellow cedar mink, gray black white, wood, Classic antique style $614 each. $407 wood – 60lb. white oak – more legs higher price and weight. Consensus was that benches have similar style to those in the Rivers Edge Commons Park. Would like to be able to get them In bright colors if possible. If not, wood simulated composite benches would be our preference. Would consider painting them if technology would provide a long lasting finish. Amanda will look at composite benches with renaissance arms. Can they be screwed into the ground – how do we prevent them from being carried off. We decided that we would like 4 benches to start to see how they affect shoveling, foot traffic and how much they will be used.
