I'm going to call this meeting to order.

It is 703 p.m.

My name is Chair Sanford.

This is the Operation Parks and Rec meeting.

Today is Thursday, April 23rd, 2026.

In attendance for the committee, I have myself, Representative Politia, Representative Beckham, Representative Didalo, Representative Finkel, Representative Salais, and Representative Zachary.

From the rest of the board, I have Representative Hill, President Shaw, Representative Morrison, Representative Gross, and from the administration from the administration I have uh I'm sorry, Representative.

From the administration, I have uh Director Turk and Tyler Theater.

Uh is that everyone?

I believe so.

So at this time, uh have three items on the agenda.

OPR 32.009, a resolution waiving the requirements of section 21-3B of the code of ordinances in order to name the Stanford High School Baseball Softball and Soccer Fields for the names set forth in the resolution.

Item two, OPR 32.010 resolution naming of the Stanford High School Baseball, Softball and Soccer Fields with the names is set forth in the resolution.

And then item three, OPR 32.008, a review of the city's snow removal process and snow emergency preparedness.

At this time, if I have a I'll entertain a motion to take up item one, OPR 32.009.

So moved.

And second discussion.

Is there any discussion?

I will open it up to rep uh to President Shaw who introduced the item.

I know she sent some information out, but if she wants to expand a little bit, I'll go ahead and let her go ahead, ma'am.

The floor is yours.

Thank you so much, Chair Sanford.

I apologize.

I'm in like a noisy place.

I'm at one of those education excellence awards present, you know, event, and it's I'm just sitting there.

So um I I've given all the information.

I just wanted to just give a summary that um that, you know, um, and I know Chris, the director of athletics from Stanford High School, Mr.

Passimano had sent more information as well.

Basically, where the waiver is for um uh waiving the requirements because the way the we the rules the or ordinances reads is we have to if we're naming something, uh a park or a facility, uh a city facility on someone that's still alive.

We have to get the board has to um sign, you know, approval waiver.

So that's the reason for which these names have been introduced.

Um, and then the resolution that kind of goes along with it, which is our second item here.

Um I I we've given all the information that we've uh we we have.

I think it's a great honor to have these people recognized, um, especially when they're you know at their stages now um and what they've done for Stanford High School.

Not only they've graduated from there, but they've worked there for many, many years, you know, 30 years, 42 years, and they've done so much.

So I I think that this is a small thing that we we owe to them and recognize them and honor them.

Um so I uh I hope the board approves this and we can move forward.

So thank you and I yield.

Thank you, President Shaw.

Is there anyone else from the committee or outside of the committee?

And I appreciate the president for submitting these items.

I agree.

Um Sheila, I don't see anybody unless you see someone.

So without any other discussion, I will go ahead and take a vote for approving uh this item OPR 32.009.

Uh all those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any oppose.

See no opposed, that item passes.

And I believe Representative Bradford is now in attendance.

So I believe it's 800, Sheila.

I could be wrong.

Uh yes, that's what I have.

Okay, thank you.

Um moving on, I will entertain a motion now to take up item OPR 32.010.

So move.

Is there a second?

I have a uh a motion and a second.

Uh discussion.

Any discussion for item number two.
