4. Consider and Possible Action to Change Name of Railroad Ave. Baseball Park to Johnny
Wayne Looper Memorial Park.
Dale Chegwidden, 9268 Indian Trail, addressed City Council in renaming Railroad Ave.
Baseball Park to Johnny Wayne Looper Memorial Park. Mr. Chegwidden proceeded by
reading a letter to the Council concerning all the time and effort Mr. Looper donated to the
park.
City Manager addressed City Council concerning the renaming of Railroad Ave. Baseball
Park. City Manager reminded Council concerning Ned Harris and all the donations he has
made to the Park. The same request was brought to Council 34 years ago by the family of
Mr. Harris when Mr. Harris passed away. Council at that time decided that they would allow
a memorial plaque to be placed at the park and chose not to rename the park due to the
consequences that could occur in the future.
Discussed three foot wide monument by the flag pole.
No Action.
Councilman Patton made motion to place a Monument at the Flag Pole. Seconded by
Councilman Joe Higgs.
Motion Carried.
Before the Mayor adjourned the meeting Councilman James requested if we can get estimates
for other sidewalks. City Manager indicated he would get cost estimates per running foot.
Councilman Lawler asked if we could get the AAA requirements for Board Members on
the next city council agenda.
Council requested that a line item be added to discuss future agenda items.
