Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee - November 14, 2023 Page 4 Discussion continued regarding gathering more information from Public Works about how much work it would be for them and what they are willing to do for maintenance, how often the fields have scheduled games and pavilion rentals. A motion was made by Committee Member Nelson and seconded by Committee Member Rogers to recommend automatic locks at Perry Park to the City Council. Motion passed unanimously. 5. NEW BUSINESS A. “Triangle Park” Naming Council Liaison Rousseau said this was brought to Council but it was pulled. The question was did they really want to name the park Triangle Park or something else. Committee Member Weber liked the idea of asking Valentine Hills Elementary kids for a name. Committee Member Olson thought it made more sense to have the elderly people at Lake Johanna Shores name it. But she actually liked Triangle Park. Committee Member Edgar agreed as it would give those residents ownership of the park. Committee Member Poelzer explained that this was the only park in Arden Hills that has a chess board table and chairs. A motion was made by Committee Member Edgar and seconded by Committee Member Weber to recommend naming the park Checkerboard Park to the City Council. Motion passed unanimously. B. Membership Update Chair Hinton noted there would be at least one open position and she was wondering about adding a Vice-Chair, and if anyone would like to be Chair for next year. A motion was made by Committee Member Rogers and seconded by Committee Member Edgar to add a Vice-Chair position to the PTRC. Motion passed unanimously. Committee Member Weber expressed interest in being the Chair. Committee Member Olson was interested to learn more about Vice-Chair.
