He has indicated that two races will be <br /> conducted this year at Woodland Trails Park: <br /> 1. Saturday, July 29th, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. —This is a citizens' <br /> running race similar to that conducted in 1999 on Saturday, July 31St <br /> 2. The Elk River Invitational to be conducted Thursday, September 28th, from <br /> • 1:30 p.m. to sundown. <br /> The areas that are typically utilized in the park include the grass trails on the <br /> south side of the park, the staging area south of the parking lot, and the parking <br /> lot. We have received no complaints from the 1999 events. We would anticipate <br /> that the cross-country runners would post appropriate signage and would not <br /> utilize paint for trail markers, etc. <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends that the Commission support these two running events at <br /> Woodland Trails Park on the dates noted. <br /> S:\PLANNING\M I CHMC\PARKN REC\n iziolek.doc <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
