2 <br />Cedar Grove Park, would be consistent with Guideline 2.1.6 of the policy, which states that <br />names "shall be based on geographical, historical, ecological, functional or other such <br />factors...". The name Cedar Grove has been associated with this part of the County since at <br />least the antebellum era and is the name of the township of location and a nearby crossroads <br />community. The Board's property naming policy is attached. <br />As per the policy, if the Board agrees on a name and states its intent to adopt the name, a <br />resolution to this effect will be drafted and brought back for action on April 7. The park opening <br />is set for Saturday, April 18. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the selection of a name. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends, in keeping with the adopted policy, that <br />the Board select the name "Cedar Grove Park" for this facility, consistent with resident <br />suggestions, the RPAC recommendation, and the adopted policy. It is suggested that the word <br />"community" not be used as part of the name, as these distinctions on types of parks may be <br />changed or discarded in future years. <br />
