City of Elk Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 8.1 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by General Business January 6, 2014 Michael Hecker, Parks and Recreation Director Item Description Reviewed by Renaming of Orono Athletic Complex Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Approve by motion the renaming of the Orono Athletic Complex as the Dave Anderson Athletic Complex as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Background/Discussion The Parks and Recreation Commission discussed and reviewed a request from Mayor John Dietz that the Orono Athletic Complex be renamed as the Dave Anderson Athletic Complex. This request was submitted in writing at the November Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, as outlined in the Parks and Facilities Naming Policy. Aso, as required in the policy, a public notice requesting a public meeting for renaming was posted and published in the local paper at least 10 days prior to the December 11 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. This action was unanimously supported by everyone in attendance at the Parks and Recreation Commission December 11 meeting. There were no public comments on the renaming. Dave Anderson was out of town and did not attend. Staff discussion with Dave Anderson indicates that the name Dave Anderson Athletic Complex is preferred as stated in the original request that came to the Commission in November. The contributions that Dave Anderson has made to the city's park system are tremendous and unparalleled. Dave has spent the past 30 years volunteering thousands of hours creating,improving, and maintaining our park system. Staff recommends this action to rename the complex. Financial Impact None at this time. Possibly the cost of installing signs with the new name.
