Monday, February 13, 1995 Mrs. Olson on Baldwin Street has lived in Elk River for two years. Generally, she is pretty satisfied with the image of Elk River. She does object to the liter garbage cans sitting in front of residences. She thinks that they should be hidden in a garage or behind a privacy wall and not visible from the street.

Tuesday February 14, 1995 Mary Jo Minton at 13700 Riverview Drive is pleased that there is a communication hotline between the residents and the City.

She suggests one way would be to have certain ordinances to aid people in keeping their property looking as if they have pride in where they live. She thinks that some places are starting to look like junkyards with cluttered gathering of old pieces of equipment. The old historic village of Elk River also needs to be kept in mind.
