EMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Philip E. Newhouse, Director of Community Services
DATE: February 13, 1990 �'
SUBJECT: Consider Renaming Paul E. Griffin, Sr. Park
At Council direction, this was referred to the Parks and Recreation
Commission. The Commission discussed and considered renaming Paul E.
Griffin, Sr. Park at their February 12, 1990, meeting.
Testimony was received from Paul Griffin, Jr. , who stated he did not
understand why Council was taking this action and was hurt by their
request; Mrs. Leta Yancy-Sutton who stated she was instrumental in
recommending the park' s name and Council should retain the name; Mr.
Jerry Straughan who stated if the name was changed, it would be a
disservice to the community, county and Griffin family; Mrs. Elaine
Freeman who stated this item should be referred back to Council for
further consideration; and Mr. Mark Beers who stated the Neighborhood
Council/HOA considered naming of the park for three months and Paul E.
Griffin, Sr. , was unanimously approved.
Commission comments were: improper for the City to take
acknowledgement away after it was given; no reason to change name,
however we do need a policy to name parks; no justice to County or
family by changing the name; surprised the item was referred to the
Commission for consideration.
After reviewing the public comments, the Parks and Recreation
Commission unanimously recommends to the City Council that the name of
Griffin Park (Paul E. Griffin, Sr. Park) not be changed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
