ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I ALL THOSE OPPOSED. THE MOTION PASSES IN THE MINUTES FROM[5. BUSINESS ITEMS (ACTION ITEMS) ]
MARCH 19TH ARE APPROVED. OKAY, SO MOVING FORWARD TO BUSINESS ITEMS 5.1 DISCUSSING. CONSIDER RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO THE FACILITY'S NAMING COMMITTEE, POLICY AND GOVERNANCE. SO MY BELIEF IS THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WE HAD A CONVERSATION. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT VOTE ON IT.SO WE NEED TO TAKE AN ACTUAL VOTE ON THE CHANGES WE MADE OR THAT WE ARE ASKING TO MAKE. THE CHANGES INCLUDED YOU ALL NOT HAVING TO WAIT FOR A CHARGE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO UNDERTAKE A NAMING. THE INCLUSION OF A EX OFFICIO WITH THE BACKGROUND OR RELATIVE EXPERIENCE RELATED TO THE HISTORY OF TERRELL. IF WE DO NOT HAVE SOMEBODY ON THE BOARD, THE MAYOR WOULD APPOINT THAT INDIVIDUAL AND THEN TERM, NOT TERM LIMITS, BUT EXPANDED TERMS. RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE SET FOR EVERY YEAR. IT'S 1A1 YEAR APPOINTMENT. WE'RE PROPOSING A THREE YEAR APPOINTMENT, BUT STAGGERING THEM. SO SOME OF YOU WOULD ROLL OFF, NOT ROLL OFF WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR REAPPOINTMENT IN A YEAR, SOME AT TWO YEARS, SOME AT THREE YEARS. THAT WAY WE GET INTO A ROTATION. IN THAT WAY IT'S STAGGERED. REMEMBER, IF THERE WAS ANOTHER CHANGE OR NOT. OH, AND THEN THE HISTORICAL STREETS WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR RENAMING OR SIGNED UP. DID WE DISCUSS PUTTING THE ACTUAL NAMES IN THERE OR JUST HISTORICAL STREETS? AND IT'LL BE LIKE A A ATTACHMENT. WE LEFT IT AS HISTORICAL STREETS. AND I THINK WE GO BACK AND WE, WE IDENTIFY WHAT THOSE HISTORICAL STREETS ARE AND KEEP AN ONGOING LIST. OKAY, BUT NOT DOCUMENTED. OKAY, PERFECT PART OF THE POLICY. OKAY, I LOVE IT.
ANYTHING ELSE? NO. OKAY. SO CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS TO GO TO COUNCIL? IS THAT WHAT I'M ASKING? OKAY. CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS TO GO TO COUNCIL FOR THEIR APPROVAL AND FINAL POLICY? I MOVE TO SEND THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES OF THE FACILITY'S NAMING COMMITTEE, POLICY AND GOVERNMENT.
GOVERNMENT NOTE GOVERNANCE TO CITY COUNCIL. I HAVE A MOTION. CAN I GET A SECOND? I SECOND THE MOTION. I HAVE A MOTION A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I ALL THOSE OPPOSED. ALL RIGHT.
MOTION PASSES. THOSE WILL BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA, WHICH IS THE. 24TH OR 25TH, WHATEVER, NEXT TUESDAY, I BELIEVE IT'S THE 21ST. PERFECT. OKAY. SO DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE ADDITION OF NAMES TO THE NAMES RESERVE LIST. I KNOW WE ADDED SOME LAST MEETING. DID ANYONE HAVE ANYONE TO ADD OR REMOVE? I DO JUST WANT TO ADD THERE'S A DOCTOR GRADY DIPLOMA ORANGE WHO WAS A SIGNIFICANT FIGURE IN THE EARLY 1900S, 1919, I WANT TO SAY. HE WORKED WITH MR. BURNETT AT A
[00:05:04]
LOT OF THE SCHOOLS, WAS A DOCTOR IN TOWN, AND HE WAS ALSO A PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PLAYER ON A FEW OF THE DIFFERENT LEAGUES AT THAT TIME. SO I JUST FELT THAT HE MIGHT BE SOMEBODY THAT WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR SOME OF OUR NAMING THINGS. SO WHAT WAS THE NAME AGAIN? HIS NAME IS GRADY DIPLOMA ORANGE. PEOPLE CALLED HIM DIP. YEAH. HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND WITH W H BURNETT COMMUNITY BUILDER. HIS WIFE WAS IN 22. MARISOL NEAL AND THEN HIS SISTER WAS MARTHA HALEY. YEAH. SO. SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADD HIM? OH, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADD DOCTOR GRADY DIPLOMA ORANGE TO OUR NAMES. RESERVE LIST. OKAY, PERFECT. I HAVE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? OKAY, I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL GET HIM ADDED TO THE LIST. I THINK THAT'S A GOOD ADD FOR SURE. ANYONE ELSE? NO. ALL RIGHT. HEARING NONE WE'LL MOVE ON TO 5.3. DISCUSSING. CONSIDER THE NAMING OF THE PAVILION AT BEN GILL PARK. OKAY, SO WE HAVE SEVERAL FACILITIES ON THERE ON THE AGENDA THIS EVENING FOR YOU TO CONSIDER IS. THESE INCLUDE THE PAVILION, THE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL FIELD AT BEN GILL, AS WELL AS THE TENNIS COURTS AND THE WALKING TRAIL. WANTED TO SEE IF YOU ALL HAD ANY PROPOSED NAMES THAT YOU WANTED TO DISCUSS AND PERHAPS SETTLE ON THIS EVENING. ONCE WE HAVE A CONSENSUS OF WHAT YOU WOULD RECOMMEND THE NAME BE, WE WOULD THEN SCHEDULE A WORKSHOP WITH THE PUBLIC TO COME AND SPEAK. BUT AS WE RAN INTO THE FIRST TIME THROUGH, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ACTUALLY TELL THEM WHAT THE PROPOSED NAME IS, INSTEAD OF THEM NOT HAVING AN IDEA WHEN THEY COME IN. SO I ALSO LOVE THAT. SO I KNOW LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED, WELL, THERE WAS A, A RECOMMENDATION OR AT LEAST A THOUGHT OF NAMING THE PAVILION AFTER MISS PAULINE GILL SULLIVAN. I THINK I THINK THAT FALLS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS OF, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THE NAME FITS THE AREA. DID WE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS OR DISCUSSION ON THAT NAME? NO. YOU'RE GOOD. SHE PROVIDED ALL THE FUNDS FOR THE PAVILION AND HAS, YOU KNOW, SHE'S DONE ALL KINDS OF CHARITABLE THINGS FOR ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN HERE AND DALLAS AND, AND I THINK IT'D BE APPROPRIATE TO NAME THAT FOR HER. IT WAS THE GILL FOUNDATION, RIGHT, THAT SHE RAN THAT FUNDED THE BEN GILL PARK. IS THAT CORRECT? I DON'T THINK SHE RAN IT. OKAY. I'M NOT SURE. OKAY. I MEAN, MR. GILL GAVE THE LAND FOR THE PARK. OKAY. BUT BUT. I, I LIKE THE IDEA OF IT JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S SHE'S A GILL AND IT KEEPS THE CONTINUITY OF, YOU KNOW, AND THEN LIKE MR. MCKINNEY SAID, SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN RAISING THE FUNDS FOR IT. I THINK KIND OF LIKE THE LAST MEETING WHEN I SAID IT'S IT'S IT'S A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY TO NAME THE ONE THING OUT THERE THAT'S BASICALLY THE FOCAL POINT AND, YOU KNOW, GOING FORWARD. SO I'M NOT I'M CERTAINLY NOT AGAINST MISS SULLIVAN IF THERE'S NOT IF THE COMMITTEE DOESN'T HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS OR ANY OTHER INPUT, OR IF YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT OR, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, IT'S, IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S, THAT'S A PRETTY, IT'S, I THINK IT'S EASIER TO NAME EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT THE PAVILION JUST KIND OF. BUT AGAIN, THE CONTINUITY IS A GOOD THING. ABSOLUTELY. THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT TO TAKE ACTION TONIGHT. I MEAN, DELAY ACTION IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER IT FOR.YEAH. I WITH VERONICA IN TERMS OF I DON'T HAVE ANY, YOU KNOW, BLATANT, YOU KNOW, CONCERN ON NAMING IT AFTER HER. IT IS, YOU KNOW, THE BINGO PARK. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION. SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO MOVE ON IT OR IF WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT, LET
[00:10:03]
IT MARINATE BECAUSE I MEAN, TO VERONICA'S POINT, IT IS LIKE THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK. AND EXCUSE ME, WITH THE JUBILEE BEING THERE THIS YEAR, LIKE IN MOVING FORWARD, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF VERY IMPORTANT STRUCTURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? SOUNDS GOOD TO ME. DO YOU WANT TO JUST KIND OF WAIT JUST A LITTLE BIT AND. DO YOU HAVE ANYBODY ELSE'S MIND? I MEAN, SHE SEEMS TO BE THE PERFECT CANDIDATE. I WOULD JUST MOVE FORWARD WITH IT. YEAH. BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNT WHAT MISS PAULINE DID. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? BUT I, I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE IT'S A PRETTY, THIS IS A PRETTY BIG FACTOR IN THAT PARK. AND I GUESS I WOULD RATHER JUST KIND OF HOLD STEADY FOR A LITTLE BIT LONGER AND MAYBE SEE IF THERE'S. BUT I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE COMMITTEE AT ALL EITHER WAY. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANT TO, YOU KNOW, FOLLOWED UP ON IT AND MOVE FORWARD. WE CAN DO THAT. I AM CHAIRPERSON, I JUST HAVE THE GAVEL. I DON'T HAVE ANY POWER ANYWAY. SO I I'M HONESTLY GOOD EITHER WAY. THE BIG EVENT THAT WILL BE OUT THERE IS THE JUBILEE. IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN BEFORE THAT. SO I THINK THE BEAUTY OF THIS BOARD AND THE REASON THAT I LIKE THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT'S ON IT, IS WE'RE NOT REALLY IN A HURRY TO NAME THINGS. WE DON'T HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NOT A DEADLINE TO NAME SOMETHING.THERE'S NOT. I THINK WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF LIKE ALL OF THE, THE BURNING NAMING THAT WE HAD.
RIGHT. SO BUT I MEAN, I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO NAME IT. I'M ALSO HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO POSTPONE AND LET IT MARINATE SOME MORE. JUST GOING TO NEED ONE EITHER WAY. I THINK IT'S JUST I DON'T I MEAN, I'M ALMOST GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MEETINGS THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR WHERE WE WERE THINKING OF SOMETHING GENERIC, EVEN WHERE IT COULD BE SPONSORED, BUT I GUESS WE DISCUSSED THAT THAT'S NOT REALLY AN AVAILABLE OPTION. I JUST, I THINK I THINK SOMETIMES IT'S ALMOST WEIRD BECAUSE YOU'RE FEELING LIKE YOU, YOU'RE WAITING FOR SOMEBODY MORE IMPORTANT TO PASS AWAY BEFORE WE NAME IT. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? SO IT'S A REAL WEIRD, I KNOW, ISN'T THAT THAT'S ODD. I MEAN, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY FIRST, AND I DON'T YOU. YOU SAID IT VERY MUCH. MORE ETIQUETTE WHEN YOU SAID WE HAVE A VARIED GROUP HERE THAT CAN CERTAINLY HONOR, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT CONTRIBUTIONS. BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE IF WE WAITED ON THE PAVILION JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER, JUST TO, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RUSH INTO SOMETHING AND I DON'T THINK THIS COMMITTEE DOES EITHER. SO YEAH. YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT? YEAH. I WOULD JUST SAY LIKE IN MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD JUST BE TO KIND OF KEEP THAT NAME AT THE TOP OF THE LIST IN TERMS OF THE PAVILION. AND, YOU KNOW, IF, IF WE HAVE SOMEONE ELSE COME UP THAT WE FEEL IS MORE APPROPRIATE. BUT OTHERWISE, I WOULD SAY WHEN WE DECIDE TO NAME IT, THAT'S THE CURRENT DIRECTION WE WOULD GO IS MY INTERPRETATION OF KIND OF WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER THINGS OUT THERE THAT CAN BE NAMED AFTER MISS SULLIVAN. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY THAT CONTINUITY, BUT JUST MAYBE HOLD STEADY ON THE PAVILION FOR RIGHT NOW. SO DO WE NEED A MOTION TO POSTPONE? OKAY. I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE.
I CAN'T SAY PAUSE GAME, POSTPONE. THANK YOU. THAT'S MUCH BETTER WAY OF SAYING POSTPONE. NAMING THE PAVILION AT BEN GUILHE PARK UNTIL A LATER DATE. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION TO POSTPONE. DO I HAVE A SECOND? A SECOND MOTION IN A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. THE 5.4 DISCUSSING. CONSIDER THE NAMING OF THE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL FIELD COMPLEX AT BEN GUILHE PARK. I DO APOLOGIZE, I DO NOT HAVE THAT NAME WITH ME. I KNOW WE DISCUSSED. OKAY, WE DISCUSSED RAYFORD HARWELL, I BELIEVE HE WAS A COACH OR UMPIRE. THERE YOU GO. THAT'S THE ONE. AN UMPIRE AND WAS VERY INVOLVED WITH YOUTH ATHLETICS AND SOFTBALL AND STUFF. SO THAT WAS A NAME THAT WE HAD CONSIDERED PREVIOUSLY. THAT WOULD BE VERY APPROPRIATE. SO AND HE WAS SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL BECAUSE
[00:15:08]
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DOING THE COMPLEX, RIGHT, NOT THE FIELD. THAT'S UP TO YOU ALL. OKAY, TWO NAMES. WE GOT TWO NAMES FOR SOFTBALL, ONE FOR BASEBALL BECAUSE THE SOFTBALL SITS OFF TO THE SIDE. THE BASEBALL SITS IN THE CENTER. OKAY, YEAH, WE'VE GOT DEP ORANGE, WHO'S A PRO BASEBALL PLAYER, AND WE'VE GOT WHO ELSE? LIKE SOMEBODY. WELL, NO, THAT'S THAT WOULD BE THE OTHER ONE I WOULD COULD DO R ONE COMPLEX. OKAY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR I ANY OPPOSED MOTION PASSES. AND JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, MR. MILLS, THAT'S THE LETTER THAT WILL GO OUT NOW. SO THAT ONE WILL GO OUT. WE WILL DO FOR THAT ONE. ANYBODY THAT IS WITHIN 200FT, FRANKLY, WILL DO IT FROM ANYBODY THAT IS WITHIN 200FT OF BEN GILL PARK. OKAY, PERFECT.KIND OF LIKE THE SERGEANT BRADY ONE. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A MINUTE SINCE WE NAMED SOMETHING. SO I WAS LIKE, WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP? SO WE WILL CONDUCT A WORKSHOP, AT WHICH POINT YOU CAN DISCUSS IT FURTHER AND HERE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. DID YOU WANT TO DO ANYTHING ON BASEBALL FIELDS OR DID YOU WANT TO DELAY THAT ONE? I HAVE A QUESTION.
YES, SIR. THE LEGENDARY DOC RYAN NEED TO NAME SOMETHING AFTER HIM. I KNOW HE WAS. HE WAS A FOOTBALL COACH. I'M NOT SURE. HE DESERVES TO BE HONORED. WE HAD SPOKE LAST TIME ABOUT HAVING HIM FOR THE WALKING TRAIL OR THE FOOTBALL FIELD. YES, OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN. WE ALSO OWE YOU A LIST OF ALL THE FIELDS THAT ARE OUT THERE. WE DON'T HAVE IT AVAILABLE FOR YOU THIS EVENING OR PULLING THAT TOGETHER. BECAUSE BECAUSE OF HIS CONNECTION TO FOOTBALL AND TRACK, WE THOUGHT THOSE WOULD KIND OF MATCH IF WE WANTED TO DO ONE OR THE OTHER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE ACTION THIS EVENING IF YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. YEAH, I THINK I WOULD BE COMFORTABLE WAITING ON THE BASEBALL FIELD BECAUSE WE JUST HAD THAT NAME ADDED. AND THEN WE HAVE A COUPLE OF OTHER NAMES THAT I JUST KIND OF DIG A LITTLE DEEPER INTO TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PICKING CORRECTLY. PERFECT. 5.5 DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE NAMING OF THE TENNIS COURTS AT BEN GILL PARK. I KNOW, I REMEMBER ON THIS ONE WE TALKED ABOUT RANDY SNOW. HE DOES HAVE A A TOPPER IN BEN GILL. IT'S RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE LIONS CLUB PARK AS YOU'RE MAKING THE TURN. I THINK THE PICKLEBALL COURTS ARE ON THE LEFT. ANYWAY. HE DOES ALREADY HAVE A TOPPER ON ONE OF THE STREETS OUT THERE, WHICH THAT'S FINE. WE CAN NAME A TENNIS COURT TOO. JUST. ANY THOUGHTS ON. THE TENNIS COURT NAME? HOW
[00:20:08]
MANY COURTS ARE THERE? REMIND ME. ARE THERE SIX? FOR TWO ONES, I THINK IT'S. SO THERE'S TWO TENNIS AND TWO PICKLEBALL. OKAY. SO I THINK WHAT WE DISCUSSED LAST TIME IS THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A RANDY SNOW. THAT'S THE STREET. AND I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT DESI SAMUEL'S. BUT DESI IS STILL HERE WITH US. AND SO MR. MILLS WAS LETTING US KNOW THAT THERE CAN BE SPECIAL DISPENSATION OR CONSIDERATIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL HERE WITH US. I'M NOT AGAINST NAMING.OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS NICOLE. SO I WOULDN'T BE AGAINST. BUT WITH RANDY SNOW COURT BEING RIGHT THERE, I DON'T IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO NAME THE COURTS AFTER RANDY. IT'S JUST THAT BECAUSE RANDY WAS OBVIOUSLY A VERY ACCOMPLISHED TENNIS PLAYER BEING, YOU KNOW, WITH HIS MEDICAL ISSUES. I THINK IF WE WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST TIME, WE WERE GOING TO DO A WORKSHOP TO TALK ABOUT, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD, LIVE PEOPLE AND SEE HOW TO INCORPORATE IN CURRENT PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL HERE WITH US. SO.
I ALMOST WANT TO I DO WANT TO NAME THE TENNIS COURTS AFTER SOMEONE WHO WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN TENNIS. SO THAT WOULD BE, AGAIN, BJ OR DESI OR WHOMEVER THAT WE CONSIDER. AND THEN THE PICKLEBALL AS THAT GETS POPULARITY, WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO FOR THAT. SO I WOULD SAY MAYBE POSTPONE, NOT POST GAME POSTPONE. WE CAN SET UP A WORKSHOP WITH YOU ALL SO WE CAN TALK THROUGH THE PROCESS. I WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT BECAUSE I REALLY THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THE PAVILION, IF I CAN BE A LITTLE BIT PERSONAL HERE, THE PAVILION IS WEIGHING SO HEAVILY ON ME BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE RECENTLY IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT MAY DESERVE THAT HONOR BEFORE THEY'RE PASSED AWAY. AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO CONSIDER NOW, IF IT'S A HARD AND FAST RULE THAT THEY DO NEED TO BE PASSED AWAY FOR SUCH AND SUCH AMOUNT OF TIME.
ABSOLUTELY. WE WANT TO STICK WITH THAT. WE WANT TO HONOR WHATEVER THE THE CITY COUNCIL HAS GIVEN US TO WORK WITH THE PARAMETERS. BUT I ALSO WANT TO BE ABLE TO BREAK OUT THAT WORKSHOP PRETTY SOON. AS FAR AS LOOKING AT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL HERE, YOU NEXT MEETING.
OKAY. PERFECT. YES, SIR. THAT WOULD BE SO I WOULD SAY MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THAT TOO, IF A MOTION IS NEEDED. DID. YES, YES, IT SAYS DISCUSS AND CONSIDER. WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IT.
SO I HAVE A MOTION TO POSTPONE NAMING OF THE TENNIS COURTS HAVE BEEN GIL PARK. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. ALL RIGHT. 5.6 DISCUSSING. CONSIDER THE NAMING OF THE WALKING TRAIL AT BEN GIL PARK. I. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
OKAY, SO THIS IS THE WALKING TRAIL. NICOLE, YOU'RE AMAZING, BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE WALKING TRAIL. YES. THAT GOES AROUND THE BASEBALL FIELD. THIS IS THE LONG ONE AROUND THE PAVILION AND THE BASEBALL FIELDS. GOTCHA. OKAY, SO I MEAN, THAT'S HONESTLY WITH THE DISCUSSION WE HAD AT THE PAVILION, I MEAN, THAT'S A PRETTY PROMINENT FEATURE AS WELL. AND BEN GIL.
SO. WHAT WAS THE NAME? IT WAS DOC RYAN. DOC RYAN. YEAH. AND I, I HAVE A SIMILAR FEELING TO THIS WITH VERONICA IS THAT HE WAS SUCH A HUGE FIGURE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE WALKING TRAIL, I DON'T WANT TO SAY IS ENOUGH, BUT LIKE, YOU KNOW, HE MADE A BIG IMPACT. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THAT'S TOO PERSONAL, BUT THAT'S KIND OF MY THOUGHT. AND PERHAPS, YOU KNOW, WITH THE A WALKING TRAIL, PEOPLE ARE WALKING ALONG. MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN PUT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE. MAYBE THAT'S TOO CRAZY, I DON'T KNOW. BUT YOU KNOW, JUST SOME THOUGHTS I DON'T KNOW. SO NAME THE ENTIRE TRAIL AFTER DOC. IS THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? WELL, SO WHAT WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NAMING THE WALKING TRAIL. SO IT'S THE ONE THAT NICOLE HAS PULLED UP HERE. IT'S THE ONE THAT CONNECTS TO THE PAVILION
[00:25:01]
AND GOES AROUND THE LAKE. SO WE'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DISCUSSING IS POSSIBLY WHOEVER WHATEVER THE PAVILION IS NAMED, THAT'S WHAT THE WALKING TRAIL WILL BE NAMED. NO, IT'LL BE SEPARATE. IT'S JUST THAT THIS IS WHAT I WAS SAYING IS THE DISCUSSION PREVIOUSLY WITH THE PAVILION. I THINK THIS CAN PIGGYBACK ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A LARGE FEATURE AT BEN GIL.OKAY. MEANING THAT, YOU KNOW, NOT TAKING IT LIGHTLY IN TERMS OF NAMING IT BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, AND DO WE WANT TO TAKE MAYBE DOC RYAN BECAUSE OF HIS FOOTBALL TENURE AND PLACE THAT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELDS INSTEAD, IS THAT KIND OF WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS TO PAUSE GAME, POSTPONE THE WALKING TRAIL, AND THEN MAYBE LOOK AT NAMING THE FOOTBALL FIELDS AFTER COACH RYAN AND THEN POSTPONING ON NAMING THE WALKING TRAIL. I WOULD SAY THE FOOTBALL FIELD WOULD BE GREAT IF. DOES IT HAVE A NAME AT THIS TIME OR CAN WE NAME IT? I DON'T KNOW IF THE HIGH SCHOOL STADIUM HAVE TO DO WITH IT. I THINK IT'S NO, NO, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PRACTICE FIELD. YEAH, YEAH. WELL I KIND OF FEEL LIKE YOU ON THAT. I, I THINK HE DESERVES SOMETHING BETTER THAN THE PRACTICE FEE. I MEAN, THE GUY I CAN'T OVEREMPHASIZE HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT HE MADE EVEN BEFORE HE PASSED HIS FORMER STUDENTS, THEY WOULD ALWAYS BE AROUND HIM AT HIS HOUSE. I MEAN, HE, HE, HE LITERALLY RAISED THOSE BOYS AND TURN THEM INTO MEN. AND I THINK, I THINK HE DESERVED SOMETHING. SO, NICOLE, IS IT POSSIBLE? I THINK I'VE ASKED THIS BEFORE AND MAYBE IT'S IN HERE AND I JUST HAVEN'T SEEN IT TO GET. SO WE HAVE A NAMES RESERVED LIST. DO WE HAVE A FACILITIES LIST? THAT'S WHAT I WAS MENTIONING EARLIER. WE DON'T LIST AVAILABLE FOR YOU YET, BUT WE'RE WORKING ON IT. OKAY. BECAUSE I'M WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO LOOK AT ALL OF THE FACILITIES AND JUST SAY, OKAY, ALMOST NOT RANK THEM BECAUSE THAT SOUNDS REALLY NOT GREAT, BUT RANK THEM RIGHT? LIKE THE PAVILIONS ARE VERY LARGE NAME, RIGHT? THE WALKING TRAILS VERY SIGNIFICANT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN THAT WAY WE CAN TAKE THE NAMES AND THE FACILITIES AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IN MY HEAD, IT MAKES SENSE. IF I COULD SEE THEM SIDE BY SIDE AND THEN TRY TO MAYBE CONNECT. BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE, WE'RE ALMOST TO THAT POINT WHERE WHEN WE HAVE THIS MANY FACILITIES, I THINK WE ALL GOT SPOILED WITH BREEZY HILL BECAUSE IT WAS, IT WAS SO WELL DONE. AND WE WERE LIKE, YES, WE'RE AMAZING. AND NOW WE GET TO BEN GILLON. WE'RE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. SO BUT NO, I THINK IT'S JUST EVERYONE WANTS TO DO THE RIGHT THING. YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HONOR IT PROPERLY AND WE KNOW HOW EMOTIONAL IT CAN GET WHEN WE GO TO NAME THINGS. SO IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE MADE THE RECOMMENDATION TO NOT REQUIRE COUNCIL TO, IN THEIR CHARGE, TELL YOU WHAT TO NAME. THAT WAY YOU CAN LOOK AT FACILITIES AND NAMES AND MATCH UP, RIGHT? YEAH. AND I LIKE THAT A LOT. I THINK IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF PRESSURE OFF TOO, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S LIKE, WE'RE NOT IN A HURRY. BUT HERE'S THE LIST. HERE'S THE LIST. HERE'S THE, YOU KNOW, SO WHEN YOU GET THAT PRESSURE. YEAH, I MEAN, I THINK IF I'M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, WE'RE KIND OF IN THE SAME SPOT WITH THE TENNIS COURTS AND PAVILION. WE ARE WITH THE WALKING TRAIL IN TERMS OF KIND OF MAYBE HOLDING OFF AND POSTPONING JUST UNTIL WE GET A BETTER VISUAL OF WHAT WE HAVE, MUCH MORE RELEVANT THAT WE'RE JUST NOT TALKING ABOUT. RIGHT. WE'LL GET THAT AND WE'LL BRING THAT TO YOU NEXT TIME AS WELL. OKAY. I APPRECIATE THAT SO MUCH. OKAY. SO CAN I GET A MOTION ON THE NAMING OF THE WALKING TRAIL? AND BEN GIL, I BELIEVE WE'VE AGREED TO POSTPONE. I MAKE A MOTION TO POSTPONE THE NAMING OF THE WALKING TRAIL AT BEN GIL PARK. I HAVE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND. I HAVE A MOTION A SECOND. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I ALL THOSE OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. MOTION PASSES. ON THE. YES, SIR. THE SOFTBALL FIELDS.
SO. OH, OKAY. BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S. YEAH. WE'LL GET THAT ON THE NEXT AGENDA FOR OUR WORKSHOP.
[6. DISCUSSION ITEMS ]
PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. SO DISCUSSION ITEMS DISCUSS FACILITIES. 6.1 DISCUSS FACILITIES TO CONSIDER FOR NAMING AT ARLEY WHITE PARK. SO THERE ARE TWO ISSUES AT PLAY[00:30:06]
WITH THIS ONE. ONE IS WHAT WE'VE RUN INTO THIS EVENING. LET US GET YOU A LIST OF FACILITIES. SO THAT WAY WE'RE NOT DISCUSSING THIS TONIGHT. AND JUST TO GIVE YOU A LIST OF FACILITIES THAT CHANGES THE PICTURE ON YOU. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUTTING A BUNCH OF MONEY INTO HARLEY WHITE PARK, AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT MAY NOT BE THERE WHEN THE PARK IS REDONE. SO WE NEED TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT REALLY IS GOING TO BE THERE BEFORE WE PUT A NAME ON IT. WOW. OKAY. DEVELOPMENT IT IS. IT'S A GOOD ONE. JUST SO YOU WANT TO POSTPONE. OH, THIS IS JUST A DISCUSS. YEAH, WE JUST DON'T. WE JUST NEED TO SKIP IT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO I MEAN, THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT BETTER, BUT. YES. THANK YOU. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. THAT DOES IT FOR OUR AGENDA. DO I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN? BEFORE WE DO THAT? JUST REAL QUICK, THERE ARE A FEW NAMES THAT I KIND OF STRUGGLED TO FIND INFORMATION ON ONLINE AND THROUGH KIND OF MY RESOURCES WITH THE MUSEUM.SO I'M GOING TO READ THESE NAMES. IF ANYBODY HAS INFORMATION ON THEM, TALK TO ME.
