City Council Minutes <br />February 22, 2022 <br />Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br />Page 6 <br />Mayor Dietz mentioned a commissioner's comment that a park could be named after <br />Mr. Barth if he were alive today, so it didn't make sense to have a two-year wait <br />requirement after someone died. <br />Councilmember Wagner noted the school district has a moratorium on naming. <br />Moved by Mayor Dietz and seconded by Councilmember Westgaard to <br />approve removal from the Naming Policy the elimination of the requirement to <br />wait two years after a person has been deceased. Motion carried 5-0. <br />8.2 Naming the Two Softball Fields at Lion John Weicht Park to John <br />Barth Fields <br />Mr. Portner presented the staff report. <br />Mayor Dietz stated he approached the school district first about naming opportunities <br />but was told it can't be done. He felt naming the softball fields was a viable <br />alternative. He discussed Mr. Barth's community accomplishments and all he has <br />done for the youth. He suggested using the GRE Fund to pay for the signage. <br />Councilmember Wagner didn't know Mr. Barth but everything she has heard is how <br />he was a tremendous person and has done wonderful things and had an impact on <br />sports and community. <br />Moved by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Wagner to <br />approve naming the two softball fields at Lion John Weicht Park the John <br />Barth Fields. Motion carried 5-0. <br />8.3 Property Acquisition Acceptance from MnDOT <br />Mr. Femrite presented the staff report. <br />Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to <br />adopt Resolution 22-15 approving the conveyance of certain property to the <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation.
