Subject: 17th St Park Building Naming
City Council Meeting 9/20/22
Agenda Item 26 22-780
I would like to support the approved Community & Library Services Commissions recommendation for naming the building located on the new 17t Street Park be named "Memorial Community Hall". This ties in the old American Legion Post 133 meeting location at once Memorial Hall. The "Community" in the name lets the locals know that the building can be utilized for other activities. I also support recognizing Michael E Rodgers at the new Senior Center.

My Dear Madam Mayoress,
I am writing as a concerned citizen, not in my position as the vice chairman of the Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board to personally urge the Huntington Beach City council to support Item XXVIA, the placing of Two plaques in honor of Mr. Michael E. Rodgers, one at 1706 Orange Avenue and one at 18041 Goldenwest Street.
While it is unfortunate that the city council became the first city council in Huntington Beach's history to vote to erase a name from a park, I believe that these plaques are an excellent way to restore some degree of Mr. Rodgers' legacy to Huntington Beach. In addition, Mr. Rodgers' legacy can now be honored both at the site he helped create and worked at for so long, and at the site now serving the population he advocated for the most: seniors. I attended as a concerned citizen a meeting of the Huntington Beach Community Services Commission's Park Naming and Memorials Committee, featuring a tour of the senior center in Central Park and felt personally that the rooms available to honor Mr. Rodgers were not appropriate for a variety of reasons. The plaques ensure Mr. Rodgers' presence is ubiquitous at both locations, rather than limited to one specific room.
Once again, I urge the Huntington Beach City Council to vote yes on Item XXVIA.
Sincerely Yours,
SUPPLEMENTAL
