SUBJECT: Community Recreation Update
Community Recreation Program Supervisor Michele Bergh will be in
attendance at this September 20 meeting to provide the council with an
update on Community Recreation activities and on city recreation programs.
.
The Community Recreation Board meets the afternoon of September 20.
Attached is the agenda for this meeting. At its last meeting in August, the
Board requested, as part of its budget discussion, that the city allow its
employees to be officed out of Emporium, and stated that it would finance the
capital expenses (up to $8,000) associated with these offices and signage. The
Elk River City Council agreed to this request in August, and quotes for this
work are being obtained by the Building Official. It is anticipated that these
improvements will be completed before the end of the year.
Regarding city recreation activities, the program receiving the most attention
is Emporium. The attendance figures on weekends have increased
dramatically. It seems like now that the facility is a year old and some of the
teens are taking "ownership" into the facility, that attendance is increasing.
This is especially true on weekend nights when live music is taking place.
Very few crowd control issues exist when the music is geared for age 16 and
under (ending at 10:00 p.m.). However, when music ends at midnight and
the kids are 16 and over, some crowd control issues are present and these
issues are being worked on by Michele and the Police Department. Having
too many people attend Emporium activities is a good challenge for staff to
address.
