The committee members were advised that the group was called together to select and make a name recommendation for the new 15-acre park in the Lakeland Hills development. Amenities in the park include youth ball fields, a picnic shelter, restrooms and concession stand, a basketball court, open space, a skatepark and playground equipment. Mr. Scamporlina distributed information, including a copy of Resolution 2555, which outlines the manner in which parks are named. He gave them the names of the current parks and asked that the Committee talk to their respective groups and bring back suggested names. Some of the members had already spoken with members of their group and the following park names were suggested as names to be considered: Mark Boynton (former Mt. Maker Middle School educator) Lakeland Sports Park Lakeland Sports Complex Chuck Booth Lake Tapps Parkway Park Crabtree Park Ilalko Sunset Park Sunset Vista Park Name it something about the view Name it something to designate youth programming Mr. Harvey asked if we needed a theme from which to decide. It was decided to make it all- inclusive and to work it down. Everyone will come back with names to suggest; we will list them; and work them into a recommendation using a point system. Resolution 3577 - Exhibit B February 19, 2003 Page 1 of 4 As some of the members were unable to attend a daytime meeting, it was decided to find a time in the evening that might allow the others better access. January 14th was decided as the date (and due to some scheduling problems, the meeting will be held at the Parks and Rec. Admin. Offices - Old Senior Center - 910 9th Street SE). Park Naming Committee January 14, 2003 Meeting Notes Parks and Recreation Director Daryl Faber was introduced to the Committee members and he welcomed everyone, thanking them for their participation in this naming process. He then turned the meeting over to Dan Scamporlina. Those Committee members present were John Simpson of the Lakeland Landscape Committee, Assistant Principal of Auburn High School Paul Harvey, Little League representative Charlie Frampton, Lakeland resident Diantha Kerbs, Park Board representative Roger Thordarson, and Auburn Youth Soccer Representative Stu Snow. In addition, Auburn Resident Bill Mitchell joined the group.

Those unable to attend this meeting were Muckleshoot Tribal representative Virginia Cross, Maintenance/Landscape Coordinator Daryl Blalock, and Museum Director Patricia Cosgrove. Mr. Scamporlina distributed minutes of the last meeting, a membership list and the guidelines for park naming, Resolution 2555. The previously proposed park names were listed and Dan asked for any other suggestions that the members proposed. Previously suggested names were: Mark Boynton (former Mt. Maker Middle School educator) Lakeland Sports Park Lakeland Sports Complex Chuck Booth Lake Tapps Parkway Park Crabtree Park Ilalko Sunset Park Sunset Vista Park Name it something about the view Name it something to designate youth programming The following names were added for consideration: Volunteer Park Chuck Henderson (former developer) Sunset Youth Sports Park Sunset Sports Park Hilltop Vista Park Resolution 3577 - Exhibit B February 19, 2003 Page 2 of 4 Lakeland Youth Sports Complex Freedom Park Harmony Park Independence Park Lakefield Park Hilltop Sports Park Crabtree Community Youth Park Crabtree Memorial Park Crabtree Sunset Youth Park Crabtree Sports Park Crabtree Community Park Crabtrce Sunset Park Several members of the group felt strongly that the Crabtree name should be made a part of the park name because it was Mr. C abtree s WSlOn to bmld a designed community on the Lakeland property. Some other members thought the "youth" should be included as the 15-acre park is geared toward youth sports. After some discussion the members decided that they were ready to vote. Mr. Harvey said that he had met with a group of High School students, who suggested names. Each was given five adhesive dots to vote for their first, second and third choices. The votes were tallied: Crabtree Community Park 16 Crabtree Sunset Youth Park 8 Sunset Park 6 Crabtree Community Youth Park 5 Crabtree Sunset Park 4 Hilltop Vista Park 3 Crabtree Park 1 Mr. Scamporlina said that he would take the names forward to the Parks and Recreation Board at their next meeting in February. Mr. Harvey suggested that the recommendation be accompanied by a short biography of Mr. Crabtree and the reasons why the Committee thought he should be honored. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m. Park Naming Committee February 13, 2003 Meeting Notes/Contact Review The members of the Naming Committee were sent letters and given the opportunity to meet on February 13, 2003 with Dan Scamporlina, Parks Planning and Development Manager, or to contact him to revisit the naming recommendations for the Lakeland Hills 15-acre park.
