Mr. Dan Anderson indicated that Mr. Jim Bredeck, a member of the Beautification Committee, was sick but did express his interest in serving on the committee. Mr. Tony Jarmoluk indicated that the Beautification Committee needed to know how much money they were allowed to spend before they were able to prioritize projects in the City of Elk River. General discussion was carried on regarding funds neces- sary for Beautification Committee projects, groups that could work as volunteers on projects prioritized by the Beautification Committee and what specifically were the Beautification Committee's priorities. The Beautification Committee indicated that their number one priority was the flagpole base, second, a fence along the sidewalk of Highway 1110 to conceal the back of the stores from Highway 1110 and third, some type of reforestation program replacing diseased elm trees. The Beautification Committee again emphasized their need for money and indicated that they could not complete any projects without allo- cation of funds. Councilmember Williams indicated that he felt the Beautification Committee needed some goals and some direction from the City Council. Mr. Williams indicated that a project that he considered a priority would be the placement of trees along High- way 11169, specifically in the area of the trailer park. Councilmember Schuldt indicated that an area of concern to him was the area around the railroad depot and each side of Highway 1110. Councilmember Schuldt suggested that a reforestation project could be done along Highway 1110.
