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.
