Guildelines Ms. Olson stated at the January 24, 2005 City Council Work Session, the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee (pTRC) asked for direction on the process of naming a trail segment after Governor Elmer L. Andersen. At that time, the City Council advised the PTRC that they would like a Naming Guideline Policy to be established before any official name designation occurs. The PTRC put together a subcommittee to research and draft Naming Guidelines for Parks, Trails, and Recreation Facilities for the City of Arden Hills. The subcommittee looked at policies for the surrounding communities, such as Roseville, Shoreview, St. Paul, and Little Canada. They also researched the policy in Ramsey County.

The draft policy was approved by a vote of 8-0. She recommended Council prepare a motion to approve the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Facility Naming Guidelines.
