Redmond Senior & Community Center Naming Recommendation from the Parks & Trails Commission
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Redmond City Council adopted Resolution No. 1516, on April 26, 2019, that established policies and procedures for the naming of public parks and recreation related facilities. In alignment with this resolution, the Parks & Trails Commission recommends, based on input from individuals and organizations throughout the community, the permanent name of the Redmond Senior & Community Center to be named "Red Oak Community Center." Commission discussion focused on whether "Senior" should be part of the name but determined that "community" is inclusive of all the people who would use the center. In addition, the Commission discussed on whether "Redmond" should be part of the name to help orient potential patrons. After discussion, a motion passed 4:3 in favor of the Red Oak Community Center. The Commission made this recommendation at their July 7, 2022, meeting. body
