Summary

The committee voted 3-0 to recommend adoption of Resolution 32195, an honorary designation of South Jackson Street (between 28th and 29th Avenue South) for Reverend Dr. Robert L. Manaway Sr.; the measure will go to the full City Council on April 21, 2026.

Chair Rob Sacca on April 16 said the committee would recommend adoption of Resolution 32195, an honorary designation of South Jackson Street between 28th and 29th Avenue South to honor Reverend Dr. Robert L. Manaway Sr. Amanda Allen of central staff told the committee that honorary street designations are symbolic (the legal street name does not change), the requester pays for sign installation, and SDOT estimates sign costs at about $2,000.

Robin Manaway, speaking for the family, asked the committee to recognize her father's decades of community service. "For 43 years he has missed games, family dinners, teacher council meetings, and everything on behalf of serving the church and our community," she said, urging the committee to approve the resolution.

Council President Hollingsworth described Manaway as a long-serving leader in the Central District with extensive civic involvement and broad community support for the designation. Chair Sacca moved the committee recommendation to adopt Resolution 32195; a colleague seconded. The clerk conducted a roll-call recommendation: Council Member Foster voted yes, Vice Chair Rehnke voted yes, and Chair Sacca voted aye. The clerk recorded three votes in favor and none opposed. The committee's recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council meeting scheduled for April 21, 2026.

The resolution is honorary only; Amanda Allen said mail would continue to use the legal street name and that the sponsoring group would coordinate sign text and placement with SDOT.

The committee took no amendments and there were no substantive questions from committee members during the recommendation vote. The committee then moved on to its traffic safety briefing.
