City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> IAN February 2 , 1998 <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Policy for Naming City Parks - Rick reminded the group that at <br /> its last meeting discussions had been opened regarding this <br /> issue. He provided the Board with a draft policy for <br /> consideration and input. <br /> Pam requested clarification of reference to naming a park after a <br /> city service organization. Rick explained that in some instances <br /> a civic organization, such as the Lions Club or VFW, might donate <br /> land to the City, and that this provision would allow for naming <br /> a park after such a group. Pam suggested that the wording of No . <br /> 5 under "Criteria for naming parks : " be changed to "Names of a <br /> community organization" to avoid confusion with city service <br /> departments . <br /> Rick reiterated that the purpose of this ordinance is for use as <br /> a guideline, and that exceptions would surely occur. <br /> George commended the concept presented by the first provision <br /> regarding the procedure for renaming of neighborhood parks . <br /> Joe expressed concern that the ordinance should specify that the <br /> proposed name should appear on a petition for name change. Rick <br /> will incorporate that change into the draft ordinance. <br /> George recommended that this item appear on the next meeting <br /> agenda for further consideration. The group agreed that the <br /> first draft is an excellent beginning. <br /> Rick pointed out that the genesis of this project was the request <br /> by a specific individual for renaming of a local park. Pam asked <br /> if this person had received a response to his request, and Rick <br /> indicated that he had sent correspondence indicating that the <br /> Board was in the process of developing this ordinance and that he <br /> would be notified of the outcome. <br /> Dedicated Park Fund Balance - Rick provided a written schedule <br /> including the current balance of $298, 498 . 08, total undesignated <br /> funds of $112, 069. 07, and 1997 revenue totaling $70, 954 . 51 . <br /> George expressed appreciation for the compilation of this <br /> information. <br /> George asked if the figures shown were current balances after <br /> expenses for each project. Rick responded in the affirmative. <br /> Paul asked about the Pheasant Hills balance, and Rick indicated <br /> that the reference to 1996 playground equipment in connection <br /> with this item should be deleted. <br /> 6 <br />
