<br />Open Letter to the residents of Upland Av and Tipton Circle and Av neighborhood <br /> <br /> <br />One of the great things about our country is that people get to speak their minds in a public way and we had that <br />opportunity at the last hearing. I imagine if it was my neighborhood I would have some of the same questions you <br />have and would have wanted my voice heard as well. <br /> <br />If we were to be honored to be in your neighborhood I would like to make some commitments to you. <br />While construction is being done I can meet with you as a group or individually to discuss your concerns and if <br />there are any further accommodations we might make to the property. I will be in Elk River a couple days per <br />week to see how the construction is going. My daughter her husband and my grandchildren live in Elk River and it <br />will give me a chance to see them and take them out to eat. I should be available. <br /> <br />Prior to the opening we will send out an invitation to our open house which will be the day prior to the start. This <br />will give you an opportunity to meet the staff including the Clinical Director, who I hope we can hire from the <br />community of Elk River. By then we will have a phone number, so you will have a number to call with any <br />questions. It will also give you an opportunity to see the changes we have made to the inside of the building and <br />get some refreshment. <br /> <br />We are not anticipating any problems but if there are you can call the Clinical Director and if you do not believe <br />your concerns are being addressed you can call the Operations Manager for this location and then you can always <br />call me. <br /> <br />We will keep the property up and the lawn mowed so we can make sure we blend into the community. <br />We will be speaking to the police and emergency response people as to how use of emergency vehicles can be the <br />least disruptive to the community. We will set up protocols based on those discussions. <br /> <br />It is my hope we can work together and move forward. <br /> <br />Thomas R.
