<br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To <br />Parks and Recreation Commission <br />Item Number <br />7.4 <br />Agenda Section <br />Action Item <br />Meeting Date <br />November 4, 2020 <br />Prepared by <br />Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director <br />Item Description <br />Park Stewards Park Projects Approval Forms <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Discussion of the Park Steward Guidelines Policy and Approval Process of Park Projects. <br /> <br />Adopt, by motion, park project proposal forms for Park Stewards. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />Hillside Park trail improvements were discussed at the September meeting. Community members and <br />MORC representative Graydon Betts were in attendance to explain how trail improvements are made at <br />Hillside Park. <br /> <br />The Park Steward Guidelines Policy appears to cover improvement processes. When a Park Steward <br />wants to make an improvement/addition in a park, they must coordinate with the Park Superintendent <br />and the Parks and Recreation Director as outlined in the policy. Graydon representing MORC has been <br />exceptional in coordinating with staff. <br /> <br />When staff met with Graydon, we developed a basic form to track park projects. A sample of a form <br />recently used for a trail feature improvement made at Hillside is attached. Staff is recommending the <br />Commission all Park Stewards begin using park project proposal forms so we can track the entire <br />approval process. We developed a trails approval form for Hillside and a park project proposal form for <br />all the parks. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Park Steward Guidelines Policy <br /> Hillside Park Proposal Forms <br /> Park Project Proposal Form
