Overview.
Early this year Council received a request from the Meadow Creek
Condo Directors to change the street names for Westbrooke Way and
Old Settlers Trail. The request was accepted and Council endorsed
staff's recommendation that a hearing be conducted. Staff has
researched the name-change process, has received information and
reaction from various agencies, and is prepared to recommend a
hearing date.
Primary Issues to Consider.
+ Procedure
staff recommends a public hearing before first and second reading
consideration of a name change ordinance. There are several
outstanding issues that residents or owners will surely want to
voice: updating of mortgage and owner's titles, driver's license
changes, telephone directory updates and postal change of
address, as well as Hennepin County taxation records changes.
Council should weigh the outcome of public debate before
proceeding with the formal process of an ordinance.
staff recommends a mailed notification to all residents and
owners affected by the proposed name change.
· staff recommendation
staff recommends that a hearing be called for the September 5
Council meeting.
