~899 Nashua Avenue N.E. <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />ON THE GREAT RIVER ROAD <br /> <br /> (612) 441-441.4 <br />Fax: (612) 441.-8823 <br /> <br />June 13, 2001 <br /> <br />Joint Powers Community Recreation Board <br />C/O Michelle Bergh <br />50 Main Street <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Board Members: <br />This letter shall serve as official notice that the City of <br />Otsego is withdrawing from the Joint Powers Community <br />Recreation Board effective December 31, 2001. The City of <br />Otsego is aware this means that Otsego residents will pay <br />more for recreational offerings in the future. <br />The City of Otsego would like to thank the Board for all of <br />the efforts they have made since the Board's creation to <br />accommodate Otsego's concerns. The City of Otsego is <br />withdrawing primarily due to the increasing costs we see in <br />the future. It is obvious that other members of the Board <br />wish to increase the recreational services offered in this <br />area. There is nothing wrong with that philosophy. The <br />City of Otsego is simply choosing to put its financial <br />resources elsewhere. We wish the Board good luck in its <br />future endeavors. <br /> <br /> Otsego would like to come to some sort of agreement to allow <br /> the Board to continue to use Otsego Prairie Park facilities. <br /> We would also want to look at contracting with the Board for <br /> hockey rink attendants, ~Terrific Tuesdays" entertainment, <br /> and other similar programs. I'm sure something mutually <br /> satisfactory can be worked out. <br /> <br /> If you have any questions, please give me a call. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br />~obertso <br /> City Administrator <br /> <br />cc: City Council <br /> <br /> <br />
