80Commissioner O’Brien commented that she believes the GARE toolkit is a good way to move 81forward with this process. Her understanding of the current issue is that there are two parts to the 82project. First, a fair number of people have expressed that they find the name Pocahontas Park 83 hurtful and the Commission and city need to listen to their concerns as no name in Roseville should 84 cause hurt or harm. Second, is what direction should be taken for renaming? Should indigenous 85 peoples be honored with the name or is there another route that should be utilized? 86 87 Commissioner Baggenstoss noted that he believes the park name should honor local indigenous 88 people and the city/Commission should reach out to groups in the area who can bring those voices 89 forward. 90 91 Commissioner Lenhart agreed with both Commissioners O’Brien and Baggenstoss on changing the 92 name due to it causing harm and that engagement is extremely important in this process. She also 93 added that she would like to understand the history of the land and any connection to American 94 Indian tribes who were here pre-European settlement as the park already has a connection to 95 American Indian history and she would like to see that same sentiment leveraged in an updated way. 96 97 Chair Hoag reminded the Commission that if they have any questions on this issue they should reach 98 out to staff directly and not CC all Commissioners. He also asked if any other Commissioners would 99 like to present at the City Council meeting on this topic as he may have a conflict during that 100 timeframe. Vice-Chair Dahlstrom volunteered to help. 101 102 Commissioner Stoner suggested that context be included in all communication about the name 103 change project so as to avoid any potential misunderstandings. 104 105 5) PARK DEDICATION ANNUAL RATE REVIEW 106 Staff provided background on Park dedication including: 107 Land – set by ordinance in code 108 Cash – set by resolution 109 o Resident – $4,000/unit 110 o Non-Residential – 10% of Fair Market Value (FMV) 111 Last increase was in 2017 112 113 Park Dedication is defined in state law.
