Area Recreation Uodate and Discussion of Proaram - Michele Berah <br /> <br />Michele Bergh provided an update on summer programming, as follows: <br /> <br />1,300 registrations have been received: they have a waiting list for some of <br />the offerings and have added additional sessions for some programs. <br />The T-Ball program has been revamped.

Bovs and Girls Club/Lions Park Entrance Siqn <br /> <br />Steve Wensman indicated that the City's sign ordinance does not allow groups or <br />individuals to place signs on property they do not own, thereby eliminating the <br />option of placing the sign for the Boys and Girls Club or for Lions Park in the road <br />easement. Steve indicated that there are no other options available at this time. <br /> <br />b. Elk River Country Club Prooosed Land Exchanae <br /> <br />Steve Wensman reviewed the Elk River Country Club's proposal for a land and <br />easement exchange. The Country Club wishes to exchange 2.82 acres of their <br />property for 1.2 acres of city owned park land, exchange an 8 acre easement for <br />a 2.83 acre easement, and also, to site and construct a storage facility. He <br />indicated that he and Michele McPherson met with representatives of the <br />Country Club and discussed a compromise which would allow them to construct <br />the storage building in their preferred location, and, at the same time, effectively <br />screen the road to the facility from the park. Commissioner Dave Anderson <br />pointed out that it appears the road will go through the driving range. <br />Representatives of the County Club indicated that they assumed the road would <br />go around the driving range and they will need to adjust their plans accordingly. <br /> <br />Discussion followed regarding a possible location for a picnic shelter in a <br />Woodland Trails Park. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Commissioner Dave Anderson suggested that the road alignment be staked out <br />and each of the Commissioners should visit the site. <br />
