Through the efforts of our work and the support of the city we
were able to gain the support of the senior community for the

together advocating for the seniors along with the staff at the

Good morning,
Thank you all for your applications to serve on the City of Elk River’s new Multipurpose
Facility Commission.
The Council will be conducting interviews for the Commission on Monday, July 6, 2020, during
the Council meeting. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.; but the interviews don’t happen until
later in the meeting during the work session portion. It’s difficult for me to predict what time
the Council will get to the interviews because it depends on the length of the agenda. I will have
a better feel for the agenda the Thursday afternoon prior to the meeting. Feel free to call or
email me that Thursday if you’d like information on the length of the agenda.
The interviews are pretty informal and should only take a few minutes. The Council really likes
to get an idea of who you are and why you are interested in serving. And to put a name with the
face (if they don’t already know you). The Council will make appointments after everyone has
been interviewed.
Please let me know whether or not you are able to attend the interviews.
