Council adds street-naming resolution for Bishop Louis E. Evans to tonight's agenda; formal designation discussion scheduled
Highland Park — The Highland Park City Council voted to add a resolution under council affairs to designate Bishop Louis E. Evans as an honorary secondary name for a segment of John R Street.

During the agenda-approval portion of the meeting, Councilman O'Shoppe moved to add a resolution that would name John R Street (from McNichols to Ferris) with a secondary designation honoring Bishop Louis E. Evans; the council agreed to place the resolution under council affairs as item 7a. Later in the meeting the resolution was read at length, outlining Bishop Evansroles as founder and senior pastor of Soul Harvest Ministries, his educational credentials and decades of service to Highland Park.

After the reading, a motion to approve the honorary designation was made and discussed on the floor. The transcript records discussion and a motion; however, the meeting record does not clearly record a final roll-call approval of the designation during this session. The council did record approval to add the resolution to the agenda and to read it into the record for consideration.

The resolution text presented to the council calls for erecting appropriate signage along the specified segment in recognition of Bishop Evans's contributions. The council did not, in the public transcript, record the final administrative steps for signage or funding for signs at this meeting.
