Many of those amenities will be approaching the end of their life expectancy in the next few years and <br />during that discussion, it was decided that staff would compile a survey to potentially send to residents in <br />designated areas so that residents have the opportunity to provide feedback about the replacement and usage <br />of the amenities. The included survey is intended to give residents that opportunity to provide input, as well <br />as to provide staff with a better understanding of how the parks are being utilized. <br /> <br />The neighborhood park areas around the city will be divided up into regions for the purposes of the amenity <br />discussion. Region 1 (south of US HWY 10 and West of Elk River) includes Country Crossings Park, Fresno <br />Park, and Mississippi Oaks Park. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Postage to ensure area residents had direct notice of the survey. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Work with citizens to achieve goals. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
