The Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission reconvened after the water tower discussion was concluded with the Park and Recreation Commission. Mr. Don Patton, from D.R. Horton, and Pat Klaers, City Administrator, were present for both the Park and Recreation Commission and Elk River Municipal Utilities discussions. The Park and Recreation Commission voted to disallow a water tower being constricted in either park for visual aesthetic reasons. Don Patton could not offer any financial incentives to move the proposed water tower from the Trott Brook Park Site, although he is in the discussion stages of purchasing the Black property (Site 6), and could make this available to the Utilities for a sum of money. Much discussion followed concerning the proposed course of action, and possible alternatives if the 2 park sites (5 & 3) do not become available. George Zabee moved to recommend to the City Council to construct the water tower in the lower area of Hillside Park(site 3b). James Tralle seconded the motion.
