To: Mayor Poydasheff

Council Members





From: Tiny B. Washington, CMC

Clerk of Council



Sub: Board of Honor Recommendations



At the October 18, 2005 Council meeting, a motion was made by Councilor

Suber to send a request to the Board of Honor to name the Vietnam Memorial Park

after Mr. Lonnie Jackson. Councilor Suber also submitted a letter from Msg.

(Ret) Joseph Watson regarding this request.



The Board of Honor met on Thursday, October 25, 2006 to consider this

request, as well as a request from Marshal Greg Countryman to name his

conference room in honor of one of his former employees, Mr. Larry Davenport.



The Board approved the request to name the Vietnam Memorial Park in honor

of Mr. Lonnie Jackson; however, they didn?t specify what the name should be,

and have left that decision to the discretion of the Council.

With regards to the request of Marshal Countryman, the board does not recommend

honoring this request.



I have enclosed a resolution for your consideration, if it is the desire

of the Council to act upon this recommendation of the Board.



Please advise if there are any questions.
