CASE #7 <br /> <br />DISCUSS NAME FOR "COMMUNITY PARK #5" <br /> By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />For many years, the City has been referring to the proposed 83-acre park site north of 160th Lane <br />and West of Trunk Highway #47 as "Community Park #5". This was due to the fact that the <br />Commission's plan had shown a desire for five parks distributed throughout the City of Ramsey. <br />These are Central, Lake Itasca, Rivers Bend, Alpine, and "Number 5". <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />The City will own the land after the second payment is made in June of 1999. Due to this fact, <br />now may be a good time to begin thinking of a more suitable name than "Number 5". As you <br />recall, the Commission's naming policy was something like "Parks shall be named after a <br />significant natural resource, geographic feature, or the subdivision that contains it". In a related <br />matter, there have been discussions regarding renaming County Ditch Nos. 66 and 3, in that it is <br />actually a creek and it too was more deserving of a description versus a number. <br /> <br />It is recommended that consideration be given to a name that could apply to both the park and <br />creek. There is no urgency to identifying a name for either the park or creek. <br /> <br />.~ommission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Copies also distributed to: <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />PR:01/14/99 <br /> <br /> <br />
