Facility Dedication Application: The Peterson Family Performance Stage Weiby outlined the application, submitted by the Friends of the Band Shell, to name the stage of the new Richfield Community Band Shell after the Peterson Family, successful musicians who have lived in Richfield for decades. Weiby said that the members of the task force feel strongly about the appointment; Felgate asked if they have promised some kind of financial support for it and said that he would feel more comfortable if they contributed money to the facility (or, at least, public support of it). Miller agreed. Smieja said that he doesn’t associate the Peterson Family with support of the project over the last several years. Wendt specified that this is to post a plaque to dedicate the stage, not a renaming of the facility. Rudolph suggested that the group tread carefully when suggesting naming a facility after somebody and the precedent it may set. Rudolph suggested sending the application back to the Friends of the Band Shell for more information. The group agreed by consensus. Committee Reports Planning Commission: Smieja reported. Arts Commission: Rudolph reported. Friendship City Commission: Weiby reported. Honoring All Veterans Memorial: Weiby reported. Organics Task Force: Weiby reported.

RICHFIELD COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Meeting Date: March 19, 2019 Agenda Item The Peterson Family Performance Stage Facility Dedication Proposal Agenda Section Action Items Attachments Facility Dedication Proposal (prepared by Friends of the Band Shell) Facility Dedication Policy Contact 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. The item was considered at the February meeting and tabled. Rick Jabs, Chair of the Band Shell Taskforce, will be present at the meeting to answer questions.
