tof City Memorandum <br /> E � <br /> River <br /> To: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> From: Michael Hecker,Parks and Recreation Director <br /> Date: July 9,2014 <br /> Subject: Parks and Recreation Master Plan Report <br /> The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Committee include Parks and Recreation Director <br /> Michael Hecker,Recreation Manager Steve Benoit,Parks Supervisor Rodney Schreifels,Park <br /> Planner Chris Leeseberg and Park Commission Members,Mark Ahlness and Ryan <br /> Holmgren. <br /> The time frame for this project is January 2014 to October 2014. <br /> The Master Plan process has presented various opportunities for public workshops during <br /> the month of June. This has included a feedback session for the Trail Park Stewards and <br /> their volunteers, a work session for the Parks and Recreation Commission, and an Open <br /> House. <br /> The Parks and Recreation Master Plan Open House on Wednesday,June 24 was well <br /> attended by over 50 people. It was a good representation of interests from athletics,park <br /> improvements,trails,Houlton acquisition and skate park supporters. HOA's were also <br /> represented. About 12 people participated from Pinewood and while their main interest was <br /> the golf course, they were also able to provide feedback to the overall park system. <br /> Based on all of this public feedback and the communitywide survey,a draft framework for <br /> future investment has been developed. The framework identifies priority initiatives that have <br /> been developed into an online survey. We want to know what residents think about these <br /> priorities. Over 140 people have filled out the survey to date. The survey is now on the <br /> city website at www.ElkRiverMN.gov until July 13. <br /> A Community Open House to review the draft plan of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br /> is scheduled for Wednesday,August 20 at 5—8 pm. This will be the first opportunity for <br /> the public to review a draft of the master plan before it moves forward to the Commission <br /> for review and approval. <br /> P ® hERED ® 1 <br /> N:\Departments\Parks and Recreation\Commission\Packets\2014\07-09-14 PRC Packet\Parks and Recreation Master NATURE <br /> Plan Report 7-9-14.docx <br />
