The Committee discussed criteria for naming the parks. Th.ey decided that �
the park names could be based on three �ifferent areas of interest.
1. Historical Events - For example the Bicentennial event; a park could
be named Bicentennial Park.
2. Historical Names - Early settlers -- 1900 to 1977 - it should be noted
the length of time that the name has been associated with. the area or
property {this should be determined)o It was noted th�.t Apple Valley
was a grass roots community and there were not enough people living
here to be significant in major history. . They were mainly pioneer
faiailies.
' 3. Service to the Community - years of service needs to be considered and
a num'uer needs to be determined.
Carl Mitchell suggested making a list of all the people that have
served the cammunity. It was suggested that each. member compile a
list of names prior to the next meeting.
The Committee felt that they need to work with the Park Committee regarding
the criteria.
