Councilmember LeTourneau stated that once the City is more comfortable with using the tool <br />and gathering data from the tool, perhaps it could also be used further down the management line <br />in order to facilitate continuous improvement for staff. <br />The consensus of the Council was to continue to use the Checkpoint 360 tool for the annual <br />review of the City Administrator. <br />2.04: Policy for Naming Public Facilities <br />City Clerk Thieling reviewed the staff report. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that she had a resident approach her about doing something in the naive <br />of Bruce Bacon and therefore she believed this to be a timely discussion. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he likes keeping the policy simple but noted that perhaps <br />adding the review of the Planning Commission would be a good idea. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated that he would be in favor of reviewing the policy and <br />receiving input from other Boards/Commissions. He stated that he would be open to being more <br />flexible. <br />Mayor Strommen stated that there is an element of naming rights, such as a person that <br />financially contributes versus someone that has contributed in service to the community and <br />therefore, there should be slightly different considerations for those elements. <br />City Clerk Thieling noted that there is a memorial policy as well and perhaps the discussions can <br />be combined. <br />City Administrator Ulrich agreed that perhaps both aspects should be combined, in terms of <br />monetary contributions and service contributions. He stated that the issue is much broader than <br />just parks, as other items can be named as well including rooms at City Hall, streets, or <br />community gardens. <br />Councilmember Shryock stated that quite a few years ago there was a consideration of a <br />memorial park along Sunwood Drive. She stated that the issue can become tricky as that can <br />affect other neighbors as well. <br />Mayor Strommen noted that was tricky because it was creating something that did not already <br />exist rather than naming an existing facility. <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood referenced some language that had <br />been drafted in terms of a planned need rather than an additional element that had not been <br />planned for. <br />Councilmember Johns agreed that she would like to keep the idea positive. <br />City Council Work Session / November 14, 2017 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />
