Recommendation
Gina Austin, Project Engineer in Parks and Recreation, presented an update on the
Cornwall Beach Park Project. In accordance with City Policy PAR 1.00.01, the
Bellingham Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is recommending City Council adopt
an official name of the 17-acre waterfront park currently known as Cornwall Beach
Park to Salish Landing. The park was master planned in 2014 and Phase 1 engineering
and permitting is underway, including design and installation of a new entrance sign
featuring the new park name.
Hollie Huthman moved to recommend approval of renaming the Cornwall Beach Park
to Salish Landing.
MOTION CARRIED 3-0.
