Reviewed by <br /> Action Requested <br /> Discussion of renaming Woodland Trails Park to Woodland Trails Regional Park <br /> Recommend,by motion,renaming Woodland Trails Park to Woodland Trails Regional Park. <br /> Background/Discussion <br /> The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trail Commission recently announced Woodland Trails Park <br /> as one of the 14 parks and trails in Greater Minnesota to achieve Significant Regional status for 2016. <br /> Successful applicants for regional designation undergo a stringent review process to ensure the <br /> application meets the criteria and high standards set by the commission. One of the criteria is the <br /> completion of a parks master plan that was adopted by City Council on July 18, 2016. <br /> Staff recommends adding the word "regional" to the name to give the park the recognition it deserves <br /> for being recognized as the crown jewel of parks in our region. It should also assist in pursing continued <br /> grant funding. <br /> The next step following the city policy on renaming requires that staff post a public notice at least 10- <br /> days prior to the October Commission meeting. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> None at this time. <br /> Attachments <br /> • None <br /> E[ O1ERER BY <br /> NATURE <br />
