Of <br />iv-er <br />February 19, 2021 <br />Dear Eileen: <br />On behalf of the Library Board, thank you for taking the time to prepare and present your ideas for <br />parking lot rain garden plant replacement at the October 27, 2020, Library Board meeting. <br />The Board sincerely appreciates the time and effort you put into your presentation. As you may know, <br />the information you provided resulted in further discussion regarding grounds maintenance and the <br />maintenance responsibilities taken on by the master gardeners and city staff. The Board requested <br />further information for their January meeting. <br />Following an overview by Street and Park Maintenance Superintendent Tim Sevcik, on January 26, <br />2021, the Board asked Mr. Sevcik to work with the master gardeners to choose a selection of hardy <br />natural grasses to be planted in the rain garden, citing concerns with winter survival rate, replacement <br />costs, and maintenance of your proposed plantings. <br />Thanks again for your passion and your service to our community. If you have questions, please don't <br />hesitate to let me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Hecker, CPRP <br />Parks and Recreation Director <br />763.635.1150 <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />763.635.1000 <br />ENAtUREEI <br />ElkRiverMN.gov <br />
