Board adopts resolution renaming unnamed lake 'Little Spirit Lake'
Summary
After a petition with verified signatures and no timely DNR objection, the Crow Wing County Board adopted a resolution to rename an unnamed lake in Deerwood Township to Little Spirit Lake.
Crow Wing County commissioners adopted a resolution to change the name of an unnamed lake in Section 26, Township 46 Range 28 in Deerwood Township to Little Spirit Lake.
County staff told the board the petition to rename the lake included the appropriate number of signatures and that a copy had been sent to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for input; staff said the DNR had not provided comment in time for the hearing. "We did send a copy of the petition to the DNR for any input from them," staff said during the hearing.
Following the public hearing, which produced no speakers in opposition during the meeting, Commissioner Lee moved to adopt the naming resolution and Commissioner Coring seconded; the board voted unanimously to approve the change. Staff noted a typographical fix would be made in the draft resolution before final publication.
