Public hearing on renaming park at 5 Ks Chico Ave draws single supporter
Summary
At a public hearing Aug. 19, 2025, the Rochester City Council heard one public comment supporting a resolution to name the park at 5 Ks Chico Ave "Nancy Loud Park"; the hearing closed without a recorded council vote during the meeting.
Mayor Callahan opened a public hearing on Aug. 19, 2025, on a resolution authorizing the naming of the public park at 5 Ks Chico Ave as "Nancy Loud Park." The mayor invited public comment on the proposal.
Susan Rice of 159 Rod (Townrod) Road spoke in favor of the naming. "I would like to see this park named after Nancy Loud so that we continue the tradition and the work that she did for our community," Rice told the council.
The mayor acknowledged the comment and then closed the public hearing in order to move on to the council workshop. There is no recorded council vote adopting the naming resolution in the transcript of the Aug. 19 meeting; the item was presented as a public hearing and public comment was received.
Why this matters: Naming public property is a formal municipal action typically resolved by council vote; the hearing allowed public input on the proposed Nancy Loud Park name. The transcript records a single public commenter in favor but does not show a formal council decision during the meeting.
