Council staff recommends naming rose garden and fountain for former mayor Tim Can't
Summary
Staff presented a proposal to name the working waterfront rose garden and fountain for former mayor Tim Can't in recognition of his long service and emphasis on city beautification; council members expressed support and noted his decades of service.
City staff and a council member asked the Fairhope City Council work session to consider naming the rose garden and fountain near the working waterfront for former mayor Tim Can't.
A council speaker said Tim Can't’s legacy included extensive beautification work for Fairhope, noting his long service to the city both as mayor and in horticulture-related roles. Another council member added that Tim Can't combined a long municipal career — described in the discussion as about 16 years as mayor and approximately 40 years in city service overall — with a focus on landscaping and public beautification.
The work session discussion framed the request as an honorary naming to be considered when the working waterfront is rededicated. Speakers said the rose garden and fountain were not solely the work of one person but that naming the feature would honor Can't’s contributions to the city’s aesthetics.
No formal ordinance or resolution was adopted during the work session; staff said the idea would be brought forward for the formal rededication and naming process.
