Agenda Item Brief:

The Sparks Parks and Recreation Commission is recommending that the City Council name the future park at 4099 Black Hills Drive, Black Hills Park.

Background:

In 2017, the Sparks Parks and Recreation Commission reinstated the Park/Facility Naming Sub-Committee consisting of two residents, three Parks and Recreation Commissioners and one Parks and Recreation staff member (non-voting).

In an attempt to maximize public input from neighboring property owners, staff distributed information through The Foothills at Wingfield HOA, achieved 4,000 contacts through the NEXTDOOR App, mailed 1,900 letters to residents in The Foothills at Wingfield, distributed a press release to traditional media outlets and sent an e-blast to 5,000 customers. As a result, fourteen suggestions for the future park at 4099 Black Hills Drive were received.

Analysis:

Through a scoring process, the Sparks Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council name the future park at 4099 Black Hills Drive Black Hills Park.

Alternatives:

The City Council may approve the recommended name of Black Hills Park for the future park at 4099 Black Hills Drive.

The City Council may elect not to accept the recommended name of Black Hills Park for the future park at 4099 Black Hills Drive and give the City Manager further direction.

Recommended Motion:

I move to approve naming the future park located at 4099 Black Hill Drive, Black Hills Park.
