Council moves renaming of Sequim skatepark to next meeting after unanimous support in comments
Summary
Council unanimously approved a motion to bring the proposal to rename the Sequim skatepark back as a regular-business agenda item at the next meeting so staff can consult with the family and provide a formal process.
Sequim City Council on Feb. 24 voted to place a proposed renaming of the Sequim skatepark on the next council meeting agenda and to allow council members time to reach out to family members and community stakeholders.
What happened: No public commenters signed up for the specific renaming public-comment period. Councilor [unnamed in transcript] moved to bring the renaming of the skatepark forward as a regular-business agenda item at the next meeting; the motion was seconded and passed with no opposition.
Why it matters: Councilors said the majority of written comments they've received have been affirming of the renaming and asked staff to add the item so the council can discuss details and give staff an opportunity to notify the family referenced in the packet.
Next steps: The item will appear on the next regular meeting agenda for discussion; councilors indicated staff should contact the family (identified in council discussion) in advance so members can be notified of the upcoming consideration.
Ending note: Council did not take final renaming action at the Feb. 24 meeting; the matter will return for formal consideration.
