Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 4 <br />May 12, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> <br />Chair Williams shared that baseball and lacrosse met with him and they provided <br />their financials and were transparent. <br /> <br />Commissioner Loidolt shared that he asked a past Elk River Youth Baseball <br />treasurer if they received an invoice every year and she said they did. He would like <br />to know if there is a paper trail for invoices for all associations. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked when 2021 payments are due. <br /> <br />Chair Williams said the payments are due July 1st. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson suggests that upon receipt of the 2021 payment and a <br />subsequent meeting with representatives of the board then we can add a payment <br />onto 2023. <br /> <br />Commissioner Soltvedt would like to see what the financial hardship was. Baseball <br />and Lacrosse lost their whole season and fundraisers, but Football had a Fall camp <br />and had a fundraiser to help support the High School program. They made a <br />financial decision to allocate those funds elsewhere instead of their organization. <br />They need to show what the financial hardship is. Instead of offering a deferment he <br />suggests offering a modified payment schedule so all payments are current and made <br />by the end of 2022 unless they can prove the hardships they have had. <br /> <br />Commissioner Niziolek suggests giving them additional 5 months to be paid in full <br />by end of 2022. <br /> <br />Commissioners feel like they have not been provided with enough information to get <br />a deferment. They would like at least 1 representative from ERYFA to come to the <br />commission meeting with financials and will add it to the work session for the July <br />meeting and then put it on the agenda in August. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rathbun asked if they payments are to reimburse the city for a <br />payment in whole that the city has already made and if there is an interest expense? <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker said yes, it is to pay the city back and there was no interest. <br /> <br />14. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Chair Williams adjourned the meeting of the Elk <br />River Parks and Recreation Commission work session at 7:33 p.m. <br />
