Parks board recommends naming new Weitzel Road facility for Todd Tintler
Summary
County parks staff presented a unanimous Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation to name the new Weitzel Road facility for Todd Tintler, citing his years of service in parks, initiation of SPLOST support for recreation, and leadership roles in the Georgia Recreation Parks Association.
Lance Dennis presented a request from the Troup County Parks and Recreation Commission to name the new Weitzel Road recreation facility for Todd Tintler, summarizing his career in LaGrange and Troup County parks, his role in SPLOST initiatives and his service through retirement around 2018. Dennis said the board that considered the naming voted unanimously to recommend the honor to the county commissioners.
Dennis noted Tintler's statewide work in the Georgia Recreation Parks Association and recounted that Tintler helped advance local park investments that produced the Mike Daniels Center and Harris Ball Fields. He said the recommendation will come before the county commissioners for a decision and that Tintler himself was informed and ‘‘ecstatic’’ about the possibility.
No formal vote was recorded during the work session; staff asked the board to consider the naming during the evening meeting or at a time the commissioners prefer. Dennis said a ribbon‑cutting can be scheduled when the playground and related facilities are ready.
