She felt lights were needed for safety reasons and to assist with an increased number of incidents <br /> caused by juveniles in the park. <br /> Police reports only show an August incident for loud music which happened with a parent present at the <br /> basketball court. The lack of reported incidents indicates no problems with criminal or suspicious <br /> activities in the park. <br /> Elk River Municipal Utilities estimated installation costs at$8,500. The Trott Brook Farm Park Barn has <br /> adequate security lighting on the building. <br /> Staff does not recommend lighting at this time based on the police reports and budget. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Cost to install four utility lights on the path at the park is estimated at$8,500. <br /> Attachments <br /> • City of Elk River Police Department Incident Reports Records <br /> • Recommended light pole locations <br /> POWERED B1 <br /> NATURE <br />
