Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 6 <br />July 14, 2021 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />Council member Wagner suggested that the lacrosse budget can be cut in areas to get <br />back on track. Supports the partnerships in the community and suggested adding to <br />income area the corporate sponsorships they receive. <br /> <br />12.2 Lion John Weicht Park Playground and Disc Golf <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker introduced Tim Macky, Disc Golf designer and Jarred Sherhammer, <br />local disc golfer. Lion John Weicht Pak already has nine baskets and should be done <br />correctly. A destination course would benefit the community. Suggest staying with <br />nine holes and having two tee pad sets to play an 18-hole course. All skill levels can <br />play. <br /> <br />Mr. Macky shared we could auction off the existing baskets or install in another park <br />to introduce to other park users. Designed Zimmerman, Big Lake, Monticello, St. <br />Cloud, Albany, Upsala, Rochester, about 50 courses. Most in public parks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Loidolt shared his concerns about the proposed layout with a few <br />holes being too close and that there should be a water shot included. <br /> <br />Mr. Macky shared he could make adjustments to the layout and do nine holes instead <br />of the proposed 12. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared the Ninja playground course information, asking if <br />commissioners believe it is a trend that will last, this course is for 13 years and older. <br />Suggested doing a special meeting on August 18 to look at park dedication funding. <br /> <br />13. Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business, Chair Williams adjourned the work session meeting <br />of the Elk River Parks and Recreation Commission work session at 8:53 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes prepared by Tonya Love. <br /> <br /> <br />___________________ <br />David Williams, Chair <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________ <br />Tina Allard, City Clerk <br />
