Staff agreed to resend the link to Commissioners. Staff asked the Commission if they felt they would like to meet with the City Council on June7 or if they would prefer to wait until the Pocahontas Park naming item is more wrapped-up. The Commission discussed wanting to keep Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) before the City Council. However, they agreed that waiting may be beneficial in order to allow for additional updates on the Pocahontas Park name topic. 6) OTHER Commissioner Lenhart sharedtheland surveyof pre-Europe settlementPocahontasPark(circa 1848). Pocahontas Park was in section 10 of the 1848 land survey. The land description from Section 10 included: Land rolling Soil second rate (not good for agriculture) Scattered timber, oak (bur, white and black) Lowlands –marsh and lakes Commissioner Baggenstoss shared that he greatly appreciates the research on the pre-European land information. However, he wants to reiterate that the Commission needs to hear from non-white voices and what their history and thoughts of the land may be. Commissioner Lenhart agreed that she looks forward to hearing and learning about those stories as well. However, she relayed that she shared this information as it was readily available and she thought the group might want to know about it from a historical perspective. 5
