believes it has many benefits. He also indicated he

Engineer and Building and Safety item after a year of
analysis.
In response to Councilmember Perez, Mr. Aguilera
indicated that a Code Enforcement Officer would be lost
to the Building and Safety Department should those
services be brought in house since he would recommend
hiring the Code Enforcement Officer who is qualified as
a building inspector as the City's Building Inspector.

Perez seconded a motion to receive and file the report. The

M. Consider Park Names for Downtown Park Site and Villa
Campesina Neighborhood Park Site. Staff Recommendation:
Select a name for each of the two subject parks.
Mayor Lawrason indicated that Spencer Park was his
suggestion.
Councilmember Wozniak said he would like consideration
for the name Poindexter Park because of historical
significance. He said Chaparral School used to be named
Poindexter. He said he sees a problem with naming parks
after deceased persons because it becomes a competition
among families. He requested a future agenda item to
look at the park naming policy.
Councilmember Montgomery said we are an enviable City
with quite a few persons who have made significant
contributions. He said the idea is not to honor or
dishonor someone and he felt he could support Spencer
Park.
Councilmember Perez indicated he liked Poindexter Park.
Councilmember Hunter said he felt it would be a good idea
for the Teen Council to share in the naming of the park.
Councilmember Montgomery indicated that perhaps Memorial
Park would be an appropriate name for a park and would
then commemorate all those who had died for our freedom.
Councilmember Wozniak suggested that the Parks and
Recreation commission discuss the suggestions made by the
different Councilmembers this evening and solicit more
input from the community and come back with a suggested
name for the park.
Councilmember Perez suggested Milagra Park, which means
miracle.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to name the
Villa Campesina neighborhood park site the Villa Campesina
Park.
CONSENSUS: By consensus, the Council determined to refer the
matter of a name for the downtown park site to the Parks and
Recreation Commission with the direction that the names
discussed this evening be considered by the Parks and
Recreation Commission.
