Analysis
The City received a donated portion of land for a future development as a passive linear park; the donated parcel was a portion of what was formerly known as Great Southwest Golf Course. The Park Board established a naming committee for linear park at their January 22, 2020 meeting. Accordingly, the naming committee scheduled subsequent meetings to consider various naming options for the naming of the donated land that would become the linear park. At the February 19, 2020 Park Board meeting, the naming committee presented their recommendation to the Park Board; with a vote of 8-0 and 1 abstain, the Park Board approved the recommendation to name the linear park as Great Southwest Nature Park.
Financial Consideration
The cost for signage to name Great Southwest Nature Park under review and will be funded through existing appropriations.
