Approval of PRAB February 7, 2000 meeting minutes. FAYETTEVIJ1F PARKS & RECREATION 2. John Jablonski: John Jablonski lives by Gulley Park and he is interested in presenting ideas for the control of vandalism in our city parks. He raised $250 in his neighborhood to assist with the reward for the Gulley Park vandals. Enclosed is an editorial he wrote in the Morning News on February 21, 2000. 3. Renaming of Babe Ruth Park: Tabled from February 7, 2000 PRAB Meeting This year, the Fayetteville Baseball Association Board for ages 13 to 16 voted to not align itself with a baseball organization. In the past, the association has been sanctioned with Babe Ruth. PRAB tabled the renaming of Babe Ruth Park from the February meeting to seek more possibilities. We again requested the Fayetteville Baseball Association Board for their recommendation. They recommended the name - White River Baseball Complex. The rationale for the renaming is: a. The White River is a land mark in the City. b. The name is catchy. c. There have been too many people within our city that has donated time and money to baseball to name it after Just one person. The fields themselves have been named after Strange and Gibson who helped start the program and fields. d. Name the complex White River Baseball Complex until someone donates substantial funding for the fields and program. Other names have been submitted by the public include Strange or Gibson Baseball Complex, Combs Baseball Complex, and Sherman Lollar Baseball Complex. Mike Hawkins recommended Sherman Lollar Baseball Complex and would like to make a presentation to PRAB. PRAB Motion: 4. Botanical Garden Society of the Ozarks, Inc.
