Present Parks were named: <br /> - Historic significance of site <br /> - Definite neighborhood identification (Hazelnut Patch etc. ) <br /> - Past mayors <br /> Gillis moved, seconded by Montgomery that neighborhood involvement <br /> through "name the park contest" be used to name North Snelling Park. <br /> Another option would be naming it after former mayor/state senator <br /> Robert Ashbach. <br /> Athletic Field Complex - Arsenal Property <br /> Buckley has been working with the Park Directors from New Brighton, <br /> Mounds View, and Shoreview regarding the potential development of the <br /> 25 acre arsenal site.
