end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Discuss and obtain direction on potential amendments to the eligibility criteria identified within the Dakota County Uniform Street Naming and Addressing Procedural Manual (Dakota County USNAS Procedural Manual) for designation of a County Road as a memorial.
SUMMARY
The County Board adopted amendments to the Dakota County USNAS Procedural Manual by Resolution No. 23-395 (August 29, 2003) (Attachment: Dakota County USNAS Procedural Manual), adding provisions for designating memorial roads. At that time, staff was directed to limit the eligibility for memorial designations on County Roads to County employees killed in the line of duty on county roads.
On April 22, 2024, the City of Inver Grove Heights passed a resolution (Attachment: City of Inver Grove Heights Resolution 2024-080) requesting that the County Board of Commissioners designate a portion of County State Aid Highway 71 as a memorial to a distinguished member of the city police force. At the May 21, 2024, General Government and Policy Committee of the Whole meeting, County Commissioners directed staff to bring the Dakota County USNAS Procedural Manual criteria for the designation of a county road as a memorial to a future meeting for additional discussion.
Staff will provide an overview of the current criteria for memorial designations and seek direction from the General Government and Policy Committee of the Whole on whether or not amendments to the Dakota County USNAS Procedural Manual should be pursued.
