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.
