<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MRPA Conference <br />Warren and Jeff will be attending the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association annual conference September 25- <br />27 in Mankato. This conference is an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals around the state <br />and learn about new trends and ideas to bring back to our department. We also earn continuing education credits <br />for our Certified Parks and Recreation Professionals (CPRP) certification. <br /> <br />Play My Way <br />Staff attended five city events over the summer to promote the survey as well as interact with youth and families to <br />have them “vote” in person on sandwich boards with photos of potential equipment for future playgrounds. The <br />program was well received by the public who thanked staff for asking for the “users” input. There are also three 3rd <br />grade classes at Parker Elementary and one 1st grade class at Twin Lakes Elementary that are participating in <br />completing the “Creator Packets” that kids can either draw or cut and paste playground pieces on. Staff will pick up <br />the packets at the end of the month. The online survey also closes on September 30th. The communications team <br />for the city will gather the results and put together a summary which will be presented in November to the <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Bradford Park <br />The Bradford Park development continues to move forward and will be incorporating the commission’s <br />recommendation to provide for the full trail around the water feature within the development. The developer plans <br />to break ground and begin construction in 2025. <br /> <br />Athletic Complex Framework Plan <br />Per the Commission’s discussion last month, the framework plan is being updated to reflect the new name of the <br />plan and to include the requested sound barrier. The updated plan will be brought back to the Commission for <br />review this fall. <br /> <br />Protective Netting at Elk River Golf Club <br />The city has been made aware of the protective netting issue at Elk River Golf Club as it relates to the parking area <br />at Woodland Trails. The planning department is reviewing the golf course’s CUP to determine if the netting meets <br />the requirements of the CUP and what course of action should be taken. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 83 of 84
