Council votes to agendize naming Eastgate Park teen center for Pastor Eric Williams
Summary
The mayor asked the council to agendize naming the Eastgate Park teen center after the late Pastor Eric Williams for his work preserving teen programs; council voted by roll call 6–0 to place the item on a future agenda for full consideration.
Mayor described Pastor Eric Williams’ role in keeping the Eastgate Park teen center open after the city faced budget cuts in 2013, noting Williams’ volunteer leadership and work with the Community Church of West Garden Grove and the Community Foundation. The mayor asked colleagues to support agendizing a proposal to name the teen center the "Pastor Eric Williams Teen Center." After a second, the city attorney said a full vote is required under policy; council conducted a roll call and recorded six yes votes to agendize the item.
Council agreed to place the naming request on a future meeting agenda for a formal vote and possible subsequent action. No final renaming was adopted at the May 12 meeting.
