Call Meeting to Oder Chair Crabtree called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Quorum was present. II Approval of September 8, 2021 Meeting Agenda Moved by Koss and seconded by Caron to approve the meeting agenda. All persons in favor (APIF). Motion carried. Katie Putt introduced herself as this was her first commission meeting. Commission members and Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck introduced themselves. III. Approval of July 14, 2021 Regular Meeting Minutes Moved by Caron and seconded by Koss to approve the meeting minutes with no revisions. APIF. Motion carried. IV. Presentations A. Public Comments There were no public comments shared at the meeting. B. Rambling River Center Operations Report Recreation Supervisor Missie Kohlbeck shared information and numbers for program participation, rentals, and memberships at the Rambling River Center (RRC). This included annual numbers from January 2017 through August 2021. Koss asked what the biggest barrier to going to the RRC is, transportation? Kohlbeck stated it is for some, but getting connected with people and letting them know we are in town is a barrier. Word of mouth is big way we get new members. Crabtree asked how our membership fees compare to neighboring communities. Lakeville’s membership fee is $18 and their building is probably most similar to the RRC. Rosemount doesn’t charge a fee, but has a senior club. Northfield’s membership fee is a sliding scale by income up to $250/year. They have a warm water pool. There is some overlap with members as some belong to multiple centers. Senior Center Month is September with this year’s theme being “Mind, Body, Spirit, and Community”. Friday, September 24 is an open house with treats and coffee starting at 12:30 p.m. and a speaker at 1:30 p.m. Recreation Supervisor Kohlbeck left the meeting at 7:30 p.m. V. Business Items A.

Meeting with Empire Township’s Parks and Recreation Commission Empire Parks and Recreation approved the agenda topics and meeting date of October 11 at 7:00 p.m. at their September meeting. Moved by Koss and seconded by Caron to approve the meeting agenda and date. APIF. Motion carried. VI. Discussion Items A. Review Parks and Facilities Tour with Rambling River Center Advisory Board and City Council Crabtree thought the tour went well with good questions at Flagstaff Meadows Park and the park at Fairhill Estate at North Creek development. Koss stated she thought the Schmitz-Maki Ice Arena looked good as there has been a number of improvements in the facility and was nice to see. The parking lot improvements in 2022 are also very needed. Koss also mentioned thought it would be good to stop by Depot Way Arts Park as some of the sculptures are rusting. We need to add amenities in our parks for adults without children. Overall, the consensus was the parks and facilities tour was beneficial and should be continued. B. Review 2021 Work Plan Progress Chair Crabtree reviewed the 2021 work plan goals and objectives. Director Omlid provided an update on Goal #4: Work with the developer to name the neighborhood park in the Fairhill Estate at North Creek development. The developer had staffing conflicts with the fall Parade of Homes and COVID-19 event protocols, thus, the contest to name the park was changed from an in-person event to emailed survey. The survey has already been emailed and submitted names are due by September 15. VII. Commission Roundtable Koss: Didn’t have anything to share. Caron: Mentioned about 206th Street crossing Pilot Knob Road to get to the trail and how dangerous it is. Said there have been a number of bad accidents at this location as the road curves along with a hill and the speed limit is 55 MPH. Has noticed a number of people including children trying to cross there to get on the trail. Asked if anything in this area has been looked at for pedestrian safety. Director Omlid said she would look into this and report back. Crabtree: Asked if the Parks and Recreation Department is short staffed as saw comments on Facebook regarding mowing along a sidewalk on Spruce St. in a new development and a neighbor asked about Prairie Pines Park. Director Omlid shared all of the seasonal staff are done for the year, so mowing is now fully completed by full-time staff. It is still the developer’s responsibility to mow in the new development and he has until Friday to complete this. Staff is trying to catch up on mowing in the parks. Putt: Didn’t have anything to share. VIII. Staff Report/Updates Director Omlid provided information on the following: A. Dew Days Dew Days is Saturday, September 18 downtown. Parks & Recreation will be hosting a number of activities including Koo Koo Kangaroo, Kiss the Pig, and a movie, Trolls – World Tour, in the park. There will also be food trucks, bingo, bags tournament, and kid’s games. B. Pickle Ball Courts The School Distract and Parks and Recreation are exploring pickle ball courts at Dodge Middle School. This would include converting the tennis courts to pickle ball courts. The School District was going to reach out to an architect to get a cost estimate and potential court layout. C. Rambling River Park A consultant did a playground safety inspection on three of the play structures at Rambling River Park. Will keep commission posted on the results. Staff has met with a playground representative on new equipment and relocating the playground south of the tennis courts to move out of the typically flooded area. D. Sign Code and Advertising on Ball Fields If commission is interested in advertising on ball field fences, the sign code would need to be amended. There was consensus to discuss this at the November meeting. E. Flagstaff Meadows Park Parks & Facilities Supervisor Pire and Director Omlid met with three landscape architecture firms regarding Flagstaff Meadows Park. Information was presented regarding the firms, their process, and similar projects they have done. Pire and Omlid took them to the park to see the site. The three firms will be submitting a proposal. The goal is to hire a firm and start master planning the park this fall. F. Community Survey Director Omlid had a virtual meeting with Hoisington Koegler Group Inc, the landscape architect firm that did the master plan for Jim Bell Park. The recommendation was to do the community survey in the year the referendum is going to be held. Thus, the survey should be done in February in conjunction with the spring edition of the Farmington Currents. G. Yoga in the Park This free class is being held Tuesdays, August 24 – September 28, at 6:00 p.m. at Rambling River Park. The first three weeks have seen in an increase in participation numbers. H. Vita Attiva Development At its May 12, 2021 meeting, commission approved the park, trail, and sidewalk plan for the Vita Attiva development. This included a recommendation by staff of five lots on the southeast corner of the development be dedicated as a public park, because of a regional trail that will be constructed in the future just to the south. However, this was prior to the developer receiving the results of the wetland study. The study showed the aforementioned five lots were not in the wetland, but buildable lots. Thus, instead of taking any park land as dedication the city will take cash in lieu of the land. Discussion took place regarding meeting prior to the joint meeting with Empire Township’s Parks and Recreation Commission on October 11. The naming of the park at Fairhill Estate at North Creek and park dedication along with the commission photo could be on the agenda. Director Omlid will let the commission know if need to meet at 6:00 p.m. on October 11. IX. Meeting Agenda Topics The following items were tentatively identified by the Commission for its November 10 meeting agenda: 1. Sign Code 2. Flagstaff Meadows Park Plan X.

The commission is responsible for choosing and recommending to City Council a name for any new city park. The commission at its January 8, 2020 meeng approved having a contes t for the public, specifically, the neighborhood in the development to name the park. The park naming contest was then postponed w ith the goal of waing unl the development was 50% cons tructed. The park naming contest was held prior to the development being 50% cons tructed as the plan is for the park to be constructed this fall. The naming contes t included the follow ing: D eadline to s ubmit names w as S eptember 15, 2021 O pen to residents of Fairhill Estate at North Creek or thos e building w ithin the development Name could not include “Fairhills ” or “North C reek” City of Farmington reserved the right to choos e an alternate name for the park if there are only a few submis s ions or the s ubmissions were not preferred P riz es would be given to the pers on w hos e park name was s elected by the commission and approved by city council P riz es would be s olicited from local bus inesses The city w ould provide a 10-punch card open skate pass at S chmitz-M aki A rena for the 2021-2022 s eas on The commission would select one name and forward to city council to approve the name of the park in the development The two developers in the Fairhill Es tate at North C reek development emailed the s urvey link to residents and those building within the development.

PURPOSE The purpose of this policy is to identify how a City of Farmington (the City) park, facility, trail or athletic field (collectively known as city property) will be named. Creating this policy will provide guidance to City staff members not only on naming property but also on how to address a naming request. II. DEFINITONS For the purposes of clarifying key words in this policy, the following definitions are being used: Park: Public green space used for recreational purposes. Facility: A structure that is built from materials and serves a particular public purpose Trail: A path either paved or unpaved that is constructed for purposes of recreational uses such as for biking or walking Athletic Field: A playing field or a piece of land prepared for playing a game or sport. Criteria: Certain requirements needing to be met before consideration is given to naming city property. Property Naming Request Form: A form used to submit a request to name a city property after an individual, a family, a former employee or an organization. III. POLICY Periodically there is a need to identify, by name, property that is either acquired or currently owned by the City. Additionally and occasionally the City receives a request to name a city property after a certain individual, a family, former city employee, organization, etc (collectively known as a “specific Party”). In order to more effectively review the naming process and address these requests, the City has created a policy on the naming of city property. This policy identifies the criteria upon which a city property will be named. It also identifies when consideration will be given and what criteria needs to be met in order for a city property to be named after a specific Party. Finally, the policy exists in order for city property to be named carefully and with permanent intent. City Property Naming Criteria It shall be the city’s policy to use one or more of the following criteria when naming a city property:  The neighborhood or subdivision name in which the city property is located  An adjacent street name that is identified with the park  The name of the nearest local point of interest or landmark  The name of an adjacent or nearest stream, creek or body of water  The name of some topographic feature that exists on the city property  The name of a historical occurrence associated with the area indigenous to Farmington  Based on an impression of the property such as vegetation, dominate feature or area ecology  Avoidance of similar names of existing property names (i.e. school names, park names, other building names) should be considered when naming a city property  The name can be associated with a specific Party but only after careful evaluation and deliberation is given and if one of the following is met a. City employee who has made a significant contribution to the community through their work as an employee b. A long-time resident of the community who has been elected and served on the City Council or has been appointed and served on either the Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) or Rambling River Center Advisory Board (RRCAB) c. A long-time resident of the community who has made significant contributions to the City through their volunteerism d. A family who has resided in Farmington for at least one hundred years e. An individual, family or organization that supported the project financially Decision Making Process to Name a City Property When Not Naming it for a Specific Party In order to successfully handle, navigate the naming process and make decisions to name city properties, the following steps must be taken in order for city property to be named. 1. If no request is made to name a city property after a specific Party, a list of possible names is compiled by city staff members and should be compiled using the following possible methods:  Through separate brainstorming sessions by city staff, PRC and RRCAB  From surveys of residents living in the neighborhood where the park is located  Solicitation from students of the closest school  Public naming contest 2. Once a list of possible names is compiled, the PRC will narrow the list of possible names (the RRCAB will narrow names associated with the Rambling River Center and will forward the narrowed list to PRC) to no more than five but no less than three possible names. 3. At the next regularly scheduled meeting of PRC will select a name for the city property and make a recommendation to the City Council to officially approve the name. 4. The City Council will then either approve or deny the recommended name for the city property. City Property Naming Process When Naming after a Certain Party In order to successfully handle, navigate the naming process and make decisions to name a city property after a certain Party, the following steps must be taken in order for city property to be named after a certain Party: 1. Submit a City Property Naming Request Form to the Parks and Recreation Director at least one week prior to the regularly scheduled monthly PRC meeting (or one week before the RRCAB meeting if applicable). 2. If the name is applicable to the Rambling River Center, the Parks and Recreation Director and/or Recreation Supervisor will bring the naming request to the next regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the RRCAB and the RRCAB members will be requested to approve the name and forward a recommendation to the PRC for approval. 3. The Parks and Recreation Director will provide a recommended name for the property and request PRC at its regular monthly meeting to approve the name and forward a recommendation to the City Council for approval. 4. The PRC will then review the recommended name and either select the name that is recommended, or come up with its own name and forward it to the City Council for approval. 5. The City Council will then either approve or deny the name for the city property. Purchase and Installation of City Property Name Signage If the City initiates the process of naming city property, it will cover the cost of the purchase and installation of the necessary signage. When someone other than the City initiates the process to name a city property after a certain party, the City may require the individual or group making the request to pay for the cost to purchase and install the new signage.
