We opened the public hearing at that meeting and the <br />Historical Commission had a discussion, then you continued the public hearing until the January <br />Commission meeting. This allowed for the Parks Board to consider the proposed name, public <br />comments and Historical Commission discussion and to make their recommendation on December 11, <br />2012. You received the minutes from their meeting in your packets for tonight. Tonight our goal is to <br />continue the public hearing and allow for the public to continue submitting comments. <br />You have also received in your packet a number of suggestions for names that have come in the mail, <br />and we have one suggestion just submitted today which you have received this evening. It is our hope <br />that you can formulate a recommendation to City Council this evening on a name or names. <br />Neil Anderson: The public hearing is now open. Please come to the podium to make comments. <br />Barbara Lamoureaux: Will Paul Kaftanski summarize the Parks Board discussion and <br />recommendation? <br />Paul Kaftanski: The Parks Board did not recommend one name but narrowed the list of names that it <br />received and sent two for back to the Historical Commission for further consideration. Those two <br />names were "Theatre Plaza" and "Wetmore Plaza." Dave Ramstad attended the Parks Board meeting <br />also. <br />Jan Meston: The Parks Board also recommended that "Theatre" be spelled with the "re", consistent <br />with the Village Theatre. <br />Gail Chism: You said "Wetmore Plaza," "Wetmore Theatre Plaza"? <br />
