Chairman Mr. Bob Hydrick called the meeting to order at 3:45 p.m. in the
Council Chambers Conference Room, Plaza Level, Government Center. There was a
quorum present for the meeting.
Request: Naming the new city service building in honor of the late Mr. J. R.
Allen:
Mr. Hirsch asked if the city has made a determination as to which city services
would be located in the new building, at which time, Deputy Clerk of Council
Davis advised that the final decision has not been made on which city service
departments would be located in the new building; however, there has been
discussions that the Tag Office, Council Chambers and City Manager?s Office are
some of the offices being considered for relocation.
Mr. Hydrick suggested that the board may be premature in making a decision
regarding the naming of the new building without first knowing which city
services would be located there.
Mr. Land then made the motion to table this matter until it is determined
exactly what the building would be used for before it is named. Seconded by
Mr. Hirsch and carried unanimously by those four members present for this
meeting.
Mr. Hirsch also made the suggestion that in the future when the board receives
a request submitted by the Council for consideration that there be more than
one individual submitted who may be deserving of the honor to allow the
opportunity for the board to be able to make the decision.
There being no other business to discuss, this meeting adjourned at 3:54 p.m.
