Included in this list of expenditures was money for a four-color park and <br />trail map, highlighting the City's recreational facilities. Staff and Commissioner Duane <br />Peterson have been working on the park and trail map and prior to publication, it was felt <br />that some of the park names needed to be changed in order to eliminate confusion and to <br />better differentiate park names, specifically, those that reflect residential subdivision names. <br />Attached please find a list of existing and proposed park names recommended by the <br />Commission for approval. Keeping with past policy, the Commission has avoided naming <br />parks after a specific person. Staff recommends that the Council concur with the <br />Commission's recommendation and accept the park names as attached. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.441.7420 <br />Fax: 763.441,7425 <br /> <br />www. ci.elk-river, mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
