City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> January 5, 1998 <br /> raises the issue of how Lino Lakes determines names for its <br /> parks, and Rick suggested the necessity for Lino Lakes to develop <br /> a formal policy for this purpose. He provided sample ordinances <br /> from neighboring communities which might be used as sample <br /> guidelines . <br /> Paul asked if a developer is the individual who customarily gives <br /> names to the various elements of his development. Rick agreed <br /> that historically a developer has named his development as well <br /> as provide suggestions for its streets, but the City Council <br /> approves all names such as streets in each development; the <br /> development; however, he pointed out that an official policy <br /> regarding park areas should be in place. Rick asked that in <br /> considering such a policy attention be given to a process for <br /> renaming existing parks as well as for naming new ones . This <br /> would not eliminate the developer' s input, and certainly his <br /> recommendation for names within his development would be <br /> considered. Any name choices would be subject to approval by the <br /> Planning & Zoning Board, and City Council . <br /> Joe suggested a joint effort with Friends of the Park. Rick <br /> agreed, using the example of a contest to name specific parks . <br /> He added that additional parameters that should be considered are <br /> geographical and historical significance . <br /> Pam suggested that individual requests such as Mr. Hokanson' s <br /> might be best acknowledged through a monument or other <br /> recognition within a park rather than naming the park after a <br /> particular person. <br /> Sharon agreed, stating that it would be confusing without some <br /> geographical identity. <br /> Paul pointed out that certain parks in neighboring communities <br /> have been named after individuals, and suggested that in certain <br /> situations it would be appropriate to rename parks after <br /> significant individuals or historical events . He added that <br /> input should be solicited from those who use the park. <br /> George reminded the group that Rick is seeking guidance regarding <br /> protocol for choosing park names . Rick reiterated the option of <br /> soliciting public input through a contest or popular vote of the <br /> citizens . <br /> Paul agreed that the Park Board should be responsible for seeing <br /> to it that the city' s parks are named. He suggested that perhaps <br /> at the planning stage a park could be labeled "development park" <br /> and given a permanent name when the development is under way. <br /> Pam agreed, but reiterated the importance of parameters . <br /> 3 <br />
