LITTLE CANADA <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />DEPARTMENT <br />515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />Telephone: (651) 484 -2177 / Fax: (651) 484 -4538 <br />JIM MORELAN, Director <br />DON BOWMAN, Program Coordinator <br />DEREK ANDERSON, Program Coordinator <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director <br />DATE: September 8, 2000 <br />RE: Park Naming Process <br />At their meeting last evening, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed procedures <br />for naming City parks. This discussion came about given that the City will begin <br />construction of new park facilities in the near future, specifically the parcel on the north <br />shore of Round Lake and the parcel north of Park View Court and east of Jackson Street. <br />I have already received some input from residents of these areas regarding the naming of <br />these parks. <br />The Park & Recreation Commission would like to take on the task of soliciting public <br />input into the naming of these parks. Based on the input received, the Commission <br />would make a recommendation for the name of each park to the City Council for final <br />approval. The procedure the Commission is proposing is outlined in the attached excerpt <br />from their September 7th meeting minutes. I feel the Commission's proposal does a good <br />job of soliciting public input and is very similar to the method that the City used to name <br />Pioneer Park approximately 10 years ago. <br />With Council approval of this process, the Commission would like to start immediately. <br />The first step will be to include an article in the next issue of the newsletter which will be <br />distributed approximately December 1n. <br />I recommend approval of adoption of the park naming process as outlined by the Parks & <br />Recreation Commission. <br />Page 56 <br />
