Public works committee accepts developer-built park at 6426 West Greenfield Avenue; naming deferred
Summary
The committee voted to accept a developer-built public park at 6426 West Greenfield Ave but deferred selecting an official name. Staff said the developer will maintain the park under the development agreement; the committee approved the ordinance by voice vote.
The public works committee voted to accept a new city park built as part of the Union Green development at 6426 West Greenfield Avenue, with the committee deferring a decision on the park’s official name.
Staff described the parcel as the public-space element of the developer agreement and said the lot will be maintained by the developer under the terms of that agreement. “Basically, a public park,” the staff member said, explaining the city needs to formally accept the land and can choose a name at a later meeting. Committee members suggested possible names during discussion, including “Polly McCloud Park,” but agreed to postpone official naming so the committee can develop a naming process.
A committee member moved approval; another seconded, and the motion to accept the park carried by voice vote. The ordinance to create the new city park was recorded as approved with naming to return for future consideration.
Officials did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. Clarifying details discussed during the item included that maintenance responsibilities remain with the developer under the development agreement and that a formal naming process will be brought forward at a subsequent meeting.
