City Council topics: Parking Commission members and renaming a park
This week's city council agenda has a couple of interesting items.
First, Mayor White's recommendations for the city's new Parking Commission:
3. REQUEST from Mayor for confirmation of the appointment of the following to the PUBLIC PARKING COMMISSION:
Position Six - MR. ROBERT EURY, as an ex-officio representative of the City’s Municipal Management Districts
Position Seven - MR. GERARD TORRES, for a term to expire 12/31/2006
Position Eight - MR. MARCUS L. DAVIS, for a term to expire 12/31/2007
Position Nine - MR. M. MARVIN KATZ, and to serve as Chair, for a term to expire 12/31/2006
Position Ten - MS. MICHELLE LYNN COLVARD, for a term to expire 12/31/2007
Position Eleven - MR. JOE R. MARTIN, for a term to expire 12/31/2006
Position Twelve - MR. ANDREW F. ICKEN, for a term to expire 12/31/2007
Position Thirteen - MS. EVALYN LAING KRUDY, for a term to expire 12/31/2006
Position Fourteen - MR. CHARLES D. REEDSTROM, for a term to expire 12/31/2007
Position Fifteen - MS. MARY JO (JODY) MCFADDEN, for a term to expire 12/31/2006
There are definitely some Houston Cocktail Party Circuit names on that list. Thanks to Tom Bazan for the heads up and no thanks to our local media for their coverage. Talk about dropping the ball! A whole new quasi-governmental agency is getting underway and our local newshounds can't be bothered to tell us who will be doing the decision-making (as unelected officials). So much for our watchdog media that keeps the public's right to know at the forefront. Mayor White must be pleased.
Second is this fun one, courtesy of bH commenter Vernon Guy:
5. RECOMMENDATION from Director Parks & Recreation Department to change the name of WEST LITTLE YORK PARK, located at 2800 West Little York to SYLVESTER TURNER PARK DISTRICT A - LAWRENCE
I guess we now know what some of those Tour de Houston funds will go to -- new park signage.
UPDATE: Ubu Roi does some Googling on the soon-to-be Parking Commission members.
