Parks&Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br /> August 11,2021 <br /> Moved by Commissioner Loidolt and seconded by Commissioner Anderson <br /> to table the Elk River Youth Lacrosse Payment to a future meeting. Motion <br /> carried 5-0. <br /> 8. Discussion Items <br /> 8.1 Flagpole Donation Park Location <br /> Mayor Dietz requested this become a discussion item after meeting with the Flag <br /> Runners. They have raised$4,400.00 for a flagpole and solar light to be installed in <br /> an Elk River Park. It was suggested the flagpole be installed at Dave Anderson <br /> Athletic Complex. <br /> Chair Williams said Mayor Dietz called him and asked about putting the flagpole <br /> behind left field at Dave Anderson Athletic Complex near field 1. <br /> Commissioner Loidolt would welcome a flagpole at any athletic facility but would <br /> prefer it be at the Youth Athletic Complex. <br /> Mr. Hecker shared the money that was raised would only be enough to buy a <br /> residential pole. It's around$15,000 for a commercial flagpole with LED lighting. <br /> Commissioner Anderson would like it where there's more activity which he thinks is <br /> at the Youth Athletic Complex. He asked if staff could raise and lower the flag. <br /> Mr. Hecker said staff will be able to do that. <br /> Chair Williams suggests adding this as an action item at the next meeting. <br /> Council member Wagner asked if the commission would like to use the $4,400.00 for <br /> a smaller flag and flagpole or would they like to do pay the extra for a commercial <br /> grade flag and flagpole. <br /> Commissioner Anderson suggests buying the best pole with the donated money and <br /> requested pricing research before the next meeting. <br /> Commissioner Loidolt asked to have a diagram showing the height of poles in <br /> comparison to the athletic fields. <br /> Mr. Hecker will talk to Mr. Sevcik about getting an aerial shot to find the best <br /> location for the flagpole. <br /> iirEAEl IT <br /> NATURE <br />
