•Cityof TO: PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION • <br /> Elk River FROM: PATRICK KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR <br /> DATE: MARCH 29, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: AGENDA MEMO <br /> The next Park and Recreation Commission meeting is scheduled <br /> for April 4, 1990, at 7 : 00 p.m. at the Elk River City Hall <br /> Conference Room. Attached for your information are the draft <br /> 3/7/90 Park and Recreation Commission minutes . <br /> The main agenda item for this upcoming Park and Recreation <br /> Commission meeting will be a discussion with Mr. Bill Sanders <br /> on Draft III of the Master Park and Recreation Plan. This <br /> plan will then be distributed to the City Council for its <br /> review. Also, at this April meeting Mr. Sanders should be able <br /> to provide the Commission with an update on the status of the <br /> focus area studies for the Woodland Trails Park and the <br /> Hillside Park. <br /> Following review of Draft III at this April meeting, I <br /> • believe it is appropriate to have a joint meeting with the City • <br /> Council during the regularly scheduled May Park and Recreation <br /> Commission meeting. At this time, the City Council and the <br /> Park and Recreation Commission can give Mr. Sanders direct <br /> feedback on Draft III . Also at this time, Mr. Sanders will be <br /> able to discuss with the Commission how the plan can be <br /> implemented. Many questions regarding this Master Plan <br /> continue to exist . These questions include not only how the <br /> plan can be implemented, but how adequate funds can be provided <br /> for some of the improvements that are discussed throughout the <br /> document. Additionally, the prioritizing of the goals and <br /> objectives are important. In this regard, I am referring to <br /> whether or not the purchase of trail land is more important <br /> than the development of a park; or if the improvement of a <br /> trail system is more important than the purchase of park land; <br /> etc. The Commission did provide Mr. Sanders with some feedback <br /> on these types of issues at the last meeting. <br /> STAFF UPDATES : <br /> Charlie Blesener is anticipated to attend this meeting and <br /> update the Commission on status of spring/summer activities . <br /> Charlie should also be able to provide an update on what took <br /> place at the 2001 conference that was held in later March, 1990 . <br /> At the last meeting, the Commission was scheduled to review <br /> park dedication financed park improvements for 1990.
