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