ISSUE
The City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission recently met to discuss a new name for the
former St. Joseph's Church.
BACKGROUND
The construction on the improvements to the former St. Joseph's Church started in mid February and
is moving along as planned. The contractor has provided staff with a timeline that identifies an
estimated completion date around July 1.
Staff recently provided an opportunity for the public to submit ideas for naming the facility. A list of
the names that were submitted is included in the packet. The City Council recently held a joint work
session meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission and discussed the list of names. The
Council and Commission supported naming the former church the Rosemount Steeple Center and
recommended that staff bring the name back to Council for approval.
Once a name has been established, staff will incorporate the name into the marketing materials being
developed and start the process of designing a logo and signage for the facility.
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending the City Council approve naming the former St. Joseph's Church the
Rosemount Steeple Center.
