Family asks council to place memorial plaque for local coach at Cyclone Field No. 2; council adds item to next agenda
Summary
Friends and family of Cruz (CJ) Gomez asked the council to approve a plaque honoring his coaching and community service at Cyclone Ballpark Field No. 2; council placed the naming/sponsorship item on a future agenda for formal consideration.
Friends and family of Cruz "CJ" Gomez attended the Pecos City Council meeting Aug. 28 to request a plaque commemorating Gomez—s work coaching youth at Cyclone Ballpark Field No. 2. A family representative presented plaque wording and a preferred location; attendees said CJ frequently practiced and coached at Field No. 2.
Councilmembers expressed support for honoring Gomez and directed staff to add the proposal to a future meeting agenda so the council can consider formal naming or sponsorship language and placement. A committee member noted the family also plans a scholarship and a memorial game in October as part of ongoing remembrance efforts.
No formal naming or sponsorship action was taken at the Aug. 28 meeting; the matter will be listed on the council's next agenda for action.
