3 1. Edwin R. Hales Memorial Park
. 0 Mr. Swen Larson, chairman of the Planning Commission, addressed Council.
to reiterate the Planning Commission's proposal to recommend that the
downtown part: now referred to as Central. Park be renamed in memory of
" Ed Hales. Mr. Larson noted that we may all agree that the park is not now
w a thing of great beauty but perhaps with identification with Mr. Hales,
ark
the would have a mandate for
� p upgrading in an area where memorial
I funds could be put to significant use. The site is near where Mr. Hales
began his law practice, and Mr. Larson felt that nothing would be more
fitting than assigning a portion of Redlands to Ed Hales. He informed
Council that since the Planning Commission meeting, the dales' family has
I- granted permission for the use of his name should Council approve the
name change.
Former Planning Commissioner Jim Butler spoke of his privilege to serve
with Mr. Hales, and felt this was an opportunity we should not let go by
to honor the memory of a man who labored for better than half of his
lifetime and gave so much of his time and talent to the betterment of the
.a City of Redlands. He urged Council's favorable consideration of this
recommendation, stating it was a small enough honor to the memory of
Ed Hales.
Councilman Johnson moved to rename the downtown park "Edwin R. dales
Memorial Park" with Councilman DeMirjyn seconding the. motion. Mayor Roth
stated that he felt naming the park for Mr. Hales was a small thing to
"f show gratification to a man that spent so much of his lifetime in public
- servicc receiving no money from the City, gaining nothing out of this
service except his love of Redlands. The motion then carried by AYE votes
a of all present.
