<br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To <br />Parks and Recreation Commission <br />Item Number <br />8.5 <br />Agenda Section <br />Action Item <br />Meeting Date <br />March 9, 2022 <br />Prepared by <br />Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director <br />Item Description <br />Bailey Point Nature Preserve Regulations <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Discussion of new regulations for Bailey Point Nature Preserve. <br /> <br />Recommend, by motion, approving new regulations for Bailey Point Nature Preserve and removing the current <br />signage regarding river access regulations. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />The Commission made two changes to the regulations last month. The regulations for the Commission to <br />consider March 9 reflect those changes with additional language recommended by the Minnesota Land Trust. <br /> <br />The Land Trust feels allowing fishing and river access over a greater area may help reduce some of the impact to <br />the river’s shoreline. The current regulations were approved by the Commission and City Council in May 2013 <br />based on concerns of high public usage. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />A new park sign/map will need to be made and installed. The current sign shows limited river access. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Bailey Point Nature Preserve Current Regulations Approved 2013 <br /> Minnesota Land Trust Correspondence <br /> Bailey Point Nature Preserve Proposed Regulations
