<br />) <br /> <br />e DATE: JANUARY 7,1995 <br />TO: CITY ADMINISTRATOR PAT KLAERS <br />FROM: THE ELK RIVER LIONS CLUB <br />SUBJECT: RECREATIONAL FACILITIES IN LION'S PARK <br /> <br />Earlier this winter the Elk River Lions club was approached by Phil Hals of <br />the City of Elk River and David Anderson representing the the Parks and <br />Recreation Board. They presented a plan to build three youth size soccer <br />fields in Lion's Park to be used by the Three Rivers Soccer Association for <br />league play. <br /> <br />We do not support the plan that they presented because it stresses league <br />use of the facilities. A document written at the time the Lion's Park was <br />turned over to the city stipulates that the facilities are not to be used for <br />organized sports. A copy is enclosed with this memo. A vote taken by <br />current Lions Club members indicates that the club has not changed its <br />position. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />The Elk River Lions are interested in working with the City to develope <br />new recreational fields for the use of the general public. As funds become <br />available from our pull tab operation, a portion will be designated for <br />Lion's Park developement. We're looking forward to working with the City <br />of Elk River on this. <br /> <br />Ed Luukkonen <br />Secretary, Elk River Lions Club <br /> <br />. <br />
