RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Appoint Commission Members to a Subcommittee for the purpose of recommending
official park names for the future park development of the Larwin and Alta Mira sites.
ITEM EXPLANATION:

each site should be recommended to the City Council by the Commission. Council

help facilitate this action, a subcommittee of Park and Recreation Commissioners would
be beneficial. Staff will provide assistance to the subcommittee as necessary.
