RecreationandParkCommission | 2006-02-09 | 2 | 5. NEW BUSINESS A. Consideration of Possible Names for the Park in Bayport Development - (Discussion Item Only) AD Lillard stated that, per direction from the City Council, each Board or Commission is responsible for recommending any names for new facilities within their realm (e.g., Golf Commission responsible for golf facilities, Library Board responsible for Library facilities, etc.). The Commissioner's are in receipt of two letters (from Alameda Architectural Preservation Society and Mr. Carvalho, Baldwin & Pell House) asking that the new park in the Bayport Development be named in honor of Andy Pagano. The Commission needs to decide how they would like to go about picking a name for the facility. The Commission can solicit names from the public, generate your own list, accept letters of recommendation, etc. Also, there is a list of potential names on the Street Naming List that could be used. Something could also be put on the ARPD website. The only formal request that has been received is for Andy Pagano. Chair Ingram stated that the Commission has enough history that they could possibly come up with some names tonight. Commissioner Reeves stated that Chuck Corica's name came up but he already has the Golf Complex named after him. AD Lillard stated that J.C. Shirriel's, former Recreation Commissioner, name has been suggested for the list. No formal request has been received. Commissioner Ogden asked about Win Currier. Ad Lillard stated that the Commission has already approved naming the ball field at Leydecker Park in Win Currier's honor. Chair Ingram recommended Bea Rowney. Commissioner Cooper recommended Don Grant who was a long-time coach at Encinal High School for track and football. Commissioner Reeves stated that he personally felt that Pagano was a superb choice. Commissioner Johnson agreed. Commissioner Cooper stated that it would be good to let the community have some input. Names that come to his mind are Andy Pagano, Bea Rowney, Don Grant, and Nick Cabral. Suggested names to put on a list are: Nick Cabral Don Grant Andy Pagano Bea Rowney J.C.
