Title

Renaming of Riverbend Park

 

Body

Whereas, the on-going development of Riverbend Park, located at 2800 West Hamlin Road, has brought increased attention and visitors to the park; and

 

Whereas, several parks surrounding Rochester Hills use “river” in their name, including Riverbend Park in Shelby Township, which has caused significant confusion to park visitors; and

 

Whereas, Mayor Barnett launched the “Name that Park” contest in October 2016 to engage residents in the renaming of this exciting new park and 495 names were submitted; and

 

Resolved, the Naming Standing Committee reviewed the 495 names that were submitted and in accordance with the standards established in the Naming/Renaming of City Parks, Buildings, Green Space and Facilities Policy, make the following Riverbend Park renaming recommendations to City Council:

 

Recommendation 1: __________________
