Item 8. Elk River Park and Recreation Commission IP Community Recreation Update - May 13, 1998 - MASC Sports & Recreation Grants Program: This is the same program that we applied for back in December. We had two proposals in December. One was for the skatepark development & the other was for the concession stand at the Youth Athletic Complex. The skate park was funded. I would like to share some thoughts on proposals with the commission. The applications are due June 30th. Your input will be appreciated. A decision at your June meeting would be required to make the application deadline. - Skatepark Development.: The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust has recently developed some new policies that allow municipalities to provide this type of facility with no increase to their existing liability insurance coverage. This simplifies our ability to get this facility up and running. It is expected that it will be open late May / early June. - Youth Athletic Complex Grand Opening: The associations thought this was a good idea and that they would like to be part of it. I will be meeting with them on May 21 to do some planning. Your input will be appreciated. - "Youthbound": The same concept for utilizing the Old Prairie House restaurant has now moved down the road to the old Northbound Liquor store. The city council has authorized improvements to ee site that would accommodate our use as a youth center. It has passed the planning commission phase of the CUP and goes to Council on May 18. - Summer Recreation: Registration began on May 2nd. Registration numbers are very good. Many offerings are already full. When able we add offerings to full classes. - Youth Athletic Complex Guidelines: You recievied what is believed to be the final draft at your April meeting. The commission should consider recommending approval to Council at this meeting. 4110
