Council informed of renaming items for Marshall White Center and Lion’s Den after demolition rule clarification
Summary
Staff told the council that naming items for the Marshall White Center and the Lion’s Den were placed on the agenda because city rules require renaming when a building has been torn down; staff said the items did not need full work‑session discussion but were on the agenda for procedural reasons.
City staff briefly explained why naming items for two facilities — the Marshall White Center and the Lion’s Den — are on the agenda, citing a rule that requires renaming if a building that carried the name has been torn down.
“This isn't something that we've discussed in a work session with regard to renaming the Marshall White Center ... and the Lion's Den,” a staff member said, adding that research done for a separate field‑house naming revealed the procedural requirement that triggered the agenda items.
Council members and staff agreed the renaming items were routine for the work session and did not require a detailed staff presentation. No formal action was taken in the work session; the items were included on the meeting agenda so the council could consider the required renaming steps in a future meeting if they choose.
