City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> January 5, 1998 <br /> Barry pointed out that a number of the city' s parks are known by <br /> more than one name. Consistency in naming parks should be a <br /> priority. <br /> Paul commended Vadnais Heights on its ordinance. Rick pointed <br /> out that Vadnais Heights' ordinance is based in large part on <br /> development of a substantial community park, not a residential <br /> one . <br /> Joe asked for time to evaluate the information presented. <br /> George suggested that everyone give thought to possibilities and <br /> revisit this issue at a future meeting. <br /> Pam asked for clarification regarding the Hokanson 3-acre parcel . <br /> Rick explained that this land constitutes Mr. Hokanson' s required <br /> dedicated park land, and that it is not a donation which must be <br /> deeded over to the city. Barry added that the city already owns <br /> the land. <br /> George suggested that the group compile a list of criteria which <br /> would be incorporated into an ordinance.

George recommended that the proposed ordinance be <br /> directed primarily to the naming of new parks; that all parks <br /> should not be automatically renamed with adoption of such an <br /> ordinance . <br /> Sharon asked whether or not existing parks are marked with signs . <br /> Rick stated that they are. <br /> George added that if existing names are appropriate, they should <br /> be taken into account in drafting an ordinance. <br /> RECREATION UPDATE : <br /> Barry pointed out that it is anticipated that he will be devoting <br /> less time to Park Board meetings in the future due to other <br /> commitments, and that he wanted to acquaint the Board with a <br /> "Recreation Review" memorandum format for his regular updates . <br /> He provided the Board with such a memorandum, which included the <br /> following review of December programs : <br /> • Outdoor skating has been extremely slow due to inclement <br /> weather. The warming houses, originally scheduled to open <br /> on December 13, are anticipated to open on January 1 .
