New and everybody welcome to the Facility Naming Subcommittee meeting
for August 26, 2026. I'm your chair Krakisar with me
here online. Our Councillor's Alex Wilson and Matt Francis. As
we have formed for the meeting, I'd like to call
a meeting to order. And a reminder to just check
your devices to make sure they're not going to make
any sounds during the meeting. We will start with approval
of the agenda. Could I have a mover in secondary
to approve the agenda as presented? Councillor Wilson, Councillor Francis,
any amendments. Seeing none, all those in favor. That carries.
Are there any declarations of interest on today's agenda. Seeing
none will keep moving. That brings us to 5. 1
approval of the minutes of the meeting from October 9th,
2025. Could have a mover and second to adopt the
minutes from that meeting, please. Councillor Francis Councillor Wilson. Any
discussion. Seeing none, all those in favor shall have hands.
And that carries. We don't have any delegations, so we
are on to items or information. We have one item
on the agenda. It is 7. 1 report PW26084, renaming
of Roxborough Park at 70 Reed Avenue North Hamilton in
Ward floor. Before we open up the floor for questions,
can I have a mover and second or to put
it on the floor, please? Councillor Francis. Okay. Any discussion.
Council Francis, go ahead. Yeah, thanks, Cher. I have an
opportunity to review this. This is a tough one. I
just want to speak to this really briefly. You know,
Devin's tragic Devin Salvi is tragic passing. It shook the
community. Um, he was known as a great person and
held up in all regard by his friends and family
and the community. Um, so once the church shows the
secondary school that I graduated from. So this one really
hit close to me when, uh, when this magic passing
occurred. And so I'm glad we can give him this
honour. And, uh, that said, I would like to move
the alternative recommendation in this, um, if I can read
that out, share. So that is, um, in alternative to
the recommendation, the report PW26084 is to direct staff to
perceive with the proposed renaming of Roxborough Park to Devin
Selby Memorial Park. And if Council Direx to perceive staff
to proceed, then the financial consideration of 300 dollars for
the supply and installation of the new signs would apply.
So. At this time, I'd like to, uh, unless there's
anyone else who like to speak to this, I would,
um, I'd like to move to, uh, move that alternative
recommendation if I could get a seconder. And, um, honour,
uh, Devin's name like this. By renaming this part. Thank
you. Okay. Thank you. I will second it. So any
discussion further on that Councillor Wilson, go ahead. Thank you
through you chair. Would stuff just be able to comment
on if, uh, dedications of this type, uh, so recognising,
um, someone in memoriam is part of the review that's
been directed of the facility naming policy, not specific to
today, but I think this, this example highlights, uh, the
need for that review that I think was motioned at
the last cycle of committee meetings and just want to
make sure that instance is like this are captured. Because
I think, you know, this is, I think the report
itself speaks to the fact that this isn't talked about
in the policy today. Director Graham. Through the chair, Cynthia
Graham, Director of Environmental Services, certainly this is a situation
that isn't covered by the current policy. So could be
considered as part of that review. And we would look
to past examples to inform that review. So this would
be one that we would consider. If I understand correctly
though, it was still a notice of motion at the
last GIC. I don't know that that has actually been
directed yet, but anticipate that that's coming forward. And if
stafford directed to do that work, then we would, um,
look at all of the different ways that we name
things across the city and update that policy. No, I
think that makes sense. And in the absence of having,
um, that kind of general direction or that general guidance
on how to do this, um, I think we have
to handle the request that we have in front of
us with the policy we have, but also the community
support that we have, um, and so appreciating that this
is out of the jurisdiction, um, I'm happy to support
the alternative today. And I think if this has further
discussion at committee or council, um, I think it should
get there for that discussion. Absolutely. Um, and I think
any broader questions about how we name things our best
kind of done at the policy level as opposed to
looking at individual applications. Um, so supportive the alternative today.
Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Just a question about,
uh, the 300 dollars. It's mentioned in there for financing
directogram. If you can just speak to how that would
be resolved. Yeah. Through the chair. So typically when renaming
proposals come forward, uh, a funding source for the, uh,
cost of either the installation of a brand new sign
or just the insert of a sign, which is the
case in this, um, instance would need to be identified
because Roxborough Park is actively, um, preparing for redevelopment. We
had anticipated those costs as part of our, um, park
redevelopment cost. So we can cover that 300 dollars within
our operating for this instance. Okay. That's helpful. Thank you.
So we have a motion on the floor. It's been
moved and seconded to rename Roxbro Park to Devon Selvi
Memorial Park. Just check to see if there are conversation.
Seeing none, we'll have an electronic vote. And the vote
is up.
And that carries unanimously. Thank you, everybody. So that park
will go through the renaming process. Uh, we have correspondence
that we need to receive. Uh, there were two correspondences
from the Ward Councillor and from Tyrone Greenridge. So could
I have a mover in secondary to receive that correspondence
Councillor Francis. Councillor Wilson? Uh, show of hands vote. That
carries. Thank you very much. We don't have any other
items on the agenda. So being no further business, this
meeting is adjourned at 106 PM. Thank you, everybody.
