Agenda Item
The Peterson Family Performance Stage Facility Dedication Proposal

Facility Dedication Proposal (prepared by Friends of the Band Shell)
Facility Dedication Policy

Kris Weiby
Recommended Action
Recommend City Council approval of the attached Facility Dedication Proposal
A Facility Dedication Proposal was received recently to dedicate the stage at the new Richfield Band Shell to
the Peterson Family, who have been prominent, nationally-known musicians since the 1940s. Some members
of the family are still residents of Richfield. The family would be commemorated with a plaque near the stage
and would refer to it as “The Peterson Family Performance Stage.”
The City’s Facility Dedication Policy is also attached. This policy was adopted by City Council in 2008 to
establish guidelines for dedicating recreational facilities and amenities including athletic fields, park buildings,
and other recreational structures located in the City of Richfield in honor of an individual or organization. As the
policy indicates, the City does not accept requests to permanently rename a park, recreational facility or
amenity in honor of an individual or organization, but as an alternative offers the attached guidelines to
dedicate such facilities to the memory of an individual or organization by granting the installation of a
dedication plaque onsite of such facilities.
Staff has reviewed the attached proposal and determined that it complies with the City’s policy. Staff
recommends the Commission recommend City Council to approve the proposal. If so moved, the Council will
consider the proposal at a future date.
