Committee forwards resolution to rename portion of Wilbur Street for Destiny A. Greene
Summary
The committee advanced a resolution honoring Destiny A. Greene, a young local resident killed in a violent incident; the sponsor and other council members referenced a family scholarship established in her memory.
The committee voted to move Resolution 72.71.25 (referred to in the meeting as 25 r) to the full council, a proposal to rename a portion of Wilbur Street in honor of Destiny A. Greene. Council Member Joyce Love spoke on behalf of sponsor Council Member Derek Johnson and described Greene as a local resident killed in a violent incident. "Any death by gun violence is tragic and it's important that we recognize individuals who...have so much potential," another council member said, and Love recounted that Greene’s family created a scholarship in her memory that provides at least $2,500 annually to a graduating high-school student. A motion to forward the resolution out of committee with a positive recommendation was made and seconded and passed by voice vote. The resolution now moves to the full council for final action; the committee did not discuss changes to public-safety policy or funding during the item.
