Introduction
Item 5. .
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent
DATE: May 15, 1995
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Entering into Joint
Partnership Program Between the City
of Elk River and MnDOT
As the council may recall, the city entered into a landscape partnership
agreement with MnDOT. This joint agreement will consist of landscaping
improvements along Trunk Highway 10 from Trunk Highway 169 to the
• north corporate city limits.
Background
The beautification project was completed on May 6. MnDOT prepared the
plans and financed the materials, the city coordinated the operation and
furnished the equipment and operators, and volunteers did the planting.
The volunteers who did the planting consisted of the Elk River Outlaw 4-H
Club, the River City 4-H Club, and a Boy Scout Troop. The Chamber of
Commerce donated $50 to offset some of the lunch expenses and Ron's Foods
made a donation of food for the lunch. The city will pay the remainder of the
lunch expense, which will be between $50 and $100.
The two project areas where the plantings took place are located below the
"Welcome to Elk River" sign on the UPA hill, and on the north side of
Highway 10 between Upland Avenue and Xenia Avenue. The project went
very smoothly and was a positive experience for all involved.
I would like to commend the volunteer youth and their leaders who worked
hard on a project that will beautify our city for many years.
