Attached for your information are <br /> the draft 1/3/90' Park and Recreation Commission minutes . <br /> The community survey results are going to be presented to the <br /> Mayor and City Council at its 2/5/90 meeting. This meeting <br /> will be held at Parker School in the Music Room at 7 :00 p.m. <br /> All Park and Recreations Commissions are encouraged. to attend. <br /> The main agenda item for the next Park and Recreational meeting <br /> will be a discussion with Bill Sanders on the status of the <br /> Master Parks and Recreation Plan. Discussion should center on <br /> `` how the relevant information from the Community Survey can be <br /> • incorporated into the plan. For example, if it is accepted by <br /> the Park and Recreation Commission that the community needs <br /> more 3 to 5 acre neighborhood parks or more walking trails or <br /> more flat open recreation areas; than the City is going to have <br /> to incorporate those goals into the Master Parks and Recreation <br /> Plan and set a course so that those goals <br /> can be achieved. At <br /> the last meeting, the Commission provided Mr. <br /> Sanders with some <br /> feedback on the preliminary draft that was distributed in <br /> November, 1989 . It is assumed that Mr. Sanders will have <br /> another progress report on; this document for the Commission at <br /> this meeting. <br /> The City has just recently obtained the aerial photos for <br /> Hillside Park and Woodland Trails Park. This information has <br /> been relayed to Mr. Sanders. Mr. Sanders has been authorized <br /> to do two focus area studies on these parks. Currently, these <br /> two areas are the only large undeveloped parks within the city <br /> and present a tremendous opportunity for the city to help <br /> fulfill some of the needs within the community. Eventually the <br /> focus area studies should lead the city into submitting grant <br /> applications for financial assistance to improve these parks . <br /> I do not believe" that Mr. Sanders will have any progress <br /> reports to present to the commission on these two areas, but he <br /> may be able to present his overall ideas on how he is going to <br /> proceed with developing the plans. <br /> • <br /> (over) <br /> 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
