Title

Discussion of renaming Deer Park Public Library building after Wayne Riddle.

Body

Summary: 

Late last year, the City of Deer Park received a formal application (see attached) to consider naming the Deer Park Public Library after former Deer Park Mayor Wayne Riddle.  Consistent with the City’s policy (see attached) on the naming of an asset, this matter was brought before the Library Board of Trustees for their recommendation to City Council.  On January 9, 2024, they voted 4-3 in favor of recommending Council name the Library after Mayor Riddle.  This matter now goes before City Council for your discussion and vote.  Council will discuss in Workshop on February 6^th and then take action on the matter at our Council Meeting on February 20^th.  It is important to note, the request is to consider naming only the Library building after Mayor Riddle.  The legal name for the Library, as a public entity, will remain the Deer Park Public Library.

Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
