ITEM #5.A.
Old Business - Re-Naming of Eastview Athletic Complex
Council Member Goodwin reported that when presented with the Park
Advisory Committee’s list of suggested names at the March focus session,
City Council rejected all three names. Mr. Goodwin also summarized the
information covered in his April 21, 1998 memo addressed to the
Committee suggesting “Fairgreen” as an alternative name for both
sections of the park property; 1)important to have historical
significance, 2) easy to remember, 3) differentiate City’s facilities
from school district facilities.
Recognizing that basically all reservation permits for Eastview Athletic
Complex have been issued at this time, staff and committee agreed that a
facility name change would be better done in the fall, and this item
could be tabled until the May 19, 1998 Park and Recreation Advisory
Committee meeting.
