Background/Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Commission held a joint meeting with the Elk River Youth Sports Commission
on May 1, 2019 to discuss the Field Allocation Policy. The highlights of the policy were discussed and
members of the Commission were requested to review and provide feedback to staff by June 1, 2019.
It was asked by a few members if the residency percentage of 80% could be lowered because some of the
group representatives felt memberships were close, but not exact. It was then asked what percentage
would be effective to make sure Elk River associations receive first priority. One suggestion is to look at
what Elk River High School has for a residency percentage and possibly use that for the policy priority.
Staff is researching on what that number could be for the high school. What is the Parks and Recreation
Commission feedback on a policy for group priority? Should 80% be lowered?
