Naming a park was suggested as well the idea put forth by <br />Officer Silver's friends and co- workers of the Lino Lakes Police Department that a <br />memorial be constructed at the Police Station. Some thought and research had been put <br />into a possible design and cost for that memorial. The minutes from that meeting note <br />"that eventually a City policy should be drafted regarding memorials within the City". It <br />was concluded that at some time in the future this policy would be developed and <br />discussed by the Council. <br />City Administrator Heitke advised because the decision was made to wait 4 -5 years until <br />some point in the future, staff has not developed a policy for Council consideration. City <br />Administrator Heitke referred to Resolution No. 98 -47, which regulates the naming of <br />parks within the City. He noted that the resolution was passed in response to a request to <br />name a park after a family member. <br />Jennifer Silvera came forward and a read a letter outlining her support for naming a park <br />in honor of Shawn Silvera. <br />Ms. Kay Stansbury came forward and stated she believes the City would be proud to <br />name a park after Shawn Silvera. She stated we honor politicians, sports figures, etc. and <br />we should also honor our police officers. <br />Formatted: Centered <br />
