•jO( E� River TO: PA R K AND RECREATION E R REATION COMMISSION FROM: PAT KLAERS , CITY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: AUGUST 30, 1990 SUBJECT: PARK AND RECREATION MEMO The next Park and Recreation Commission meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 5, 1990, 7 :00 p.m. at the Elk River City Hall Conference Room. Attached for your information and review are the draft 8/1/90 Park and Recreation Commission minutes. At this time, there is no major agenda item for this Commission meeting. Staff felt it would be appropriate to get together and discuss, in general, the activities since the Master Plan project began and 1990-91 Park and Recreation Commission projects and activities. One item that will need to be discussed is how the Master Plan starts to get implemented once it is approved. Staff presented the proposed Master Plan to the Planning • Commission at a public hearing on 8/28/90 . A number of citizens were in attendance from the northeast part of the City and expressed a great deal of concern about the possible taking of their land by the City for future parks. Discussion about the City' s future growth and the need to plan for the overall development of the community was not well received by the public. It is anticipated that this same group will be in attendance at the 9/17/90 City Council public hearing when the Parks Master Plan is considered. Under staff updates, Phil and Charlie should be able to discuss with the Commission with some fall projects and the plans for 1990-91 winter activities. I will be prepared to discuss the budget status with the Commission. An important budget factor has been the reduction of the City Landfill tax which affects available funds for Park and Recreation activities . Also attached for your information is a thank you note from School Superintendent, Dr. Flannery, regarding the City' s participation in the resurfacing of the tennis courts .
