After review and discussion of the September 14, 2020 Meeting of the Committee, FCDC Member Ed Mahoney and other members agreed that the Northeast Community Park should be considered as a park site to be named. B. Any other park or trail sites. Assistant Director Rick Wieland mentioned that there had been some interest in the renaming of the First Street site, but no suggestions have been submitted.

FCDC Member Ed Mahoney moved that the park site known as the Northeast Community Park begin the naming process. Parks & Recreation Member Sean Merrill seconded the motion.
