He reviewed the names the firefighters have been discussing for the trail, including, but not limited to, "Firefighters Memorial Trail," "Firefighters Historical Trail," and "Firefighters Commemorative Trail." Boss stated that the word "memorial" sounds tragic. She preferred the words "historical" or "commemorative." The other commissioners agreed. Sackett Glaser preferred usage of the word "firefighters" rather than "fire department" since firefighters sounded more human and less institutional. Sanders stated that the firefighters would like to see the words "City of Little Canada" on the sign be replaced with "Little Canada Fire Department." Sackett Glaser indicated that she was fine with dropping the "City or', but preferred to leave it as "Little Canada" rather than "Little Canada Fire Department." She said that both the City of Little Canada and the Little Canada Fire Department funded completion of the trail so she felt that both should get the credit.

Sanders indicated that he will meet with the firefighters and pass on the commissioners' comments to them. Sanders stated that work is scheduled to begin on the Spooner Park sign.
