u turns at the corner of Jackson Ave and Main Street. The no parking between 2AM and 6AM is not being enforced at this time because some businesses employees need to be parked in the lot at that time. He discussed the need for an ordinance that is clear cut and enforceable. We discussed different language for the ordinance. Heidi asked that Rivers Edge submit ordinance language change requests to the City in writing. Wendy and Garrett and Karen will come up with alternate language for the ordinance that addresses the concerns: cars parked that interfere with plowing of the lot in the winter, resident vehicles being parked in high traffic customer parking, hours of enforcement. We were told that one of the vehicles parking in the first row behind the brick block is a mother with 2 small children who works late at night and it is an issue for her to get them in the building safely. (editorial - we need to make sure that when the apartments are rented the landlords let their potential tenants be made aware of what accommodations have been made for resident parking in the King Avenue lot. I would assume that the same information will be provided to the renters of the Jackson Square apartments to prevent this from being an issue in the future). Keeping downtown looking nice during construction: Wendy voiced concerns about the grass growing on the sidewalk along the King Ave parking on Hwy 10. Phil Hals is who we need to contact to talk about this concern. Brad Rolfe told us that on the City of Elk Rivers Website there is a "Request Partners" program on the main menu that routes requests to the appropriate departments in the city. http://www.ci.elk-river.mn.us/index.as~ Businesses Changes: Haberdashery has moved out of downtown.

Please let Wendy at Kemper Drug (441-1353) know if you are planning to participate in the sidewalk sale or if there are any special events you are going to hold at your business the weekend of August 26th so that I can put together an ad and door signs advertising the event.
