Council renames park to Dale Collins Memorial Park
Summary
The council unanimously approved renaming Dale Collins Park to Dale Collins Memorial Park and discussed adding a plaque honoring volunteerism; the council recorded the new name on the meeting record.
A council member asked the council to approve renaming the town reader-board park from “Dale Collins Park” to “Dale Collins Memorial Park,” citing the new reader board and a desire to install permanent signage. The council discussed whether to include the word “Volunteer” in the name or instead honor volunteerism with an annual plaque or award; members suggested a plaque that could list a volunteer of the year as an option.
A motion to rename the park to Dale Collins Memorial Park was moved, seconded, and approved by unanimous voice vote. The chair observed the change on the record and council members discussed sign design and placement, including a permanent sign with the city logo and a plaque acknowledging volunteer contributions.
The council also noted potential related initiatives (naming citizen awards in honor of individuals) but left the park name itself as the memorial form. Details about plaque wording, installation schedule and costs were not specified at the meeting.
