Chair Giri closed public comment.
Commissioner Kesting recommended that the park avoid the name Redwood due to its naming similarity to the site's location of One Redwood Place. Patrons may think that the park is under ownership of private property.
Commissioners discussed and each member provided their top suggestions. Staff compiled a list of the top suggestions: Arques, Duane, Manzanita, Redwood and Shellmound Park.
Commissioner Kesting moved and Commissioner Mason seconded motion to approve the recommendation to City Council on naming the new city park at One Redwood Place.
