Title

Renaming of Certain City Parks (B)

Ordinance No. 200292

An ordinance of the City of Gainesville, Florida, amending Section 18-18, Listing of city parks, to rename certain parks; providing directions to the codifier; providing a severability clause; providing a repealing clause; and providing an immediate effective date. 

Explanation

The ordinance would make changes to the names of two City parks.  The park at J.J. Finley Elementary School would be renamed to Carolyn Beatrice Parker Park, consistent with the new name of the school; and Loblolly Woods would be renamed Loblolly Woods Nature Park.

This ordinance requires two hearings and will become effective immediately.

Fiscal Note

There is no appreciable cost to the City to change the names of the two City parks. 

Recommendation

The City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance.
