CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> GUIDELINES TO ASSIGNING NAMES TO PARKS, TRAILS, AND <br /> RECREATION FACILITIES <br /> Naming Procedure <br /> -- Any Arden Hills resident, business, or organization may submit site <br /> names to the city. <br /> -- Submissions for parks, trails, and recreation sites will be given to the <br /> Parks Trails and Recreation Committee (PTRC) for deliberation. <br /> -- After careful consideration the PTRC will submit a recommended name <br /> to the City Council for final approval. <br /> Naming Criteria <br /> -- Geographic names must relate to prominent surrounding features to <br /> help the public identify the site's location such as lake names, names of <br /> bridges, street names, or community names. <br /> -- Historic names must be associated with important events that happened <br /> in the area. <br /> -- Functional names must provide a link to the activities, services, or <br /> programs associated with a site. <br /> -- Memorial names are meant to honor those who made significant <br /> contributions to society through years of service or donation OR <br /> for those who have been deceased for at least three years. <br /> -- Renaming parks, trails, or recreation sites is generally discouraged as <br /> it removes the honor and societal value of the existing designation. <br /> Memorials <br /> Memorials such as plaques or trees may be donated as a tribute to <br /> deceased residents OR to honor those who made significant <br /> contributions to society through years of service or donation. <br /> Donors must pay the full cost of the memorial procurement, installation, <br /> and maintenance. Plaque size and location plan must be approved by <br /> the Public Works Director with installation supervised by his/her staff. <br />
