3. Naming of Fairlane Park Land: Carole Jones, Park Planner
The following suggestions were submitted to the Parks and Recreation Division as
possible names for the park land: Jaguar Park (former Jefferson Elementary School
mascot); Jefferson Park; Heritage Park, and Flyover Park.
According to the Facility Naming Policy, the item was tabled from last month's PRAB
meeting in order to allow for public input. At the October PRAB meeting, PRAB
requested that additional names be submitted during the one month input period.
Staff requested for the Historical Society to review this area for any historical
information about the area; however, no significant information was found. Walt Eilers
suggested naming the park "Doc Mashburn Park" after Dr. James Mashburn, a booster of
Jefferson Elementary throughout his life. This recommendation was presented at the
November 3, 2008, PRAB meeting and tabled for one additional month for public input
per the City's Facility Naming Policy.
Staff Recommendation: The Parks and Recreation Staff recommend naming the park
Doc Mashburn Park.
