Council names renovated JC Waterpark for city manager Roger A. Houck
Summary
The council passed a resolution renaming the renovated JC Park pool and splash pad the Roger A. Houck Water Park, honoring the city manager's decades of service.
The Clinton City Council voted to name the city’s newly renovated JC Park swimming pool and splash pad the Roger A. Houck Water Park in recognition of city manager Roger A. Houck’s long service to the community.
Mayor Burton read the resolution, which recited Houck’s service dating to 1987, his tenure as recreation director and his years as city manager beginning in 2010, and identified the renovated pool and splash pad as a community resource. Houck thanked the council and said he appreciated the recognition during his 39th year with the city.
Why it matters: the resolution designates permanent signage and places the facility under the city’s official records in Houck’s name. The council approved the resolution on first and final reading.
Vote and procedure: Resolution number 8 50 passed by roll call; the transcript records unanimous votes in favor. The resolution instructs staff to install appropriate signage and enter the resolution into the city’s official records.
Context: the pool and splash-pad project was discussed earlier in the meeting; staff described remaining punch-list items, health- and TDEC-related inspections and a 30-day watering/curing window for the pool’s surfaces. The council’s resolution does not change how the facility will be operated; it designates an honorary name for the renovated facility.
