[2:46] Sun check one two three sun check one two three.
[33:00] New and everybody welcome to the Facility Naming Subcommittee meeting
[33:03] for August 26, 2026. I'm your chair Krakisar with me
[33:08] here online. Our Councillor's Alex Wilson and Matt Francis. As
[33:13] we have formed for the meeting, I'd like to call
[33:15] a meeting to order. And a reminder to just check
[33:18] your devices to make sure they're not going to make
[33:19] any sounds during the meeting. We will start with approval
[33:22] of the agenda. Could I have a mover in secondary
[33:24] to approve the agenda as presented? Councillor Wilson, Councillor Francis,
[33:30] any amendments. Seeing none, all those in favor. That carries.
[33:37] Are there any declarations of interest on today's agenda. Seeing
[33:41] none will keep moving. That brings us to 5. 1
[33:44] approval of the minutes of the meeting from October 9th,
[33:47] 2025. Could have a mover and second to adopt the
[33:49] minutes from that meeting, please. Councillor Francis Councillor Wilson. Any
[33:55] discussion. Seeing none, all those in favor shall have hands.
[34:00] And that carries. We don't have any delegations, so we
[34:03] are on to items or information. We have one item
[34:05] on the agenda. It is 7. 1 report PW26084, renaming
[34:10] of Roxborough Park at 70 Reed Avenue North Hamilton in
[34:15] Ward floor. Before we open up the floor for questions,
[34:18] can I have a mover and second or to put
[34:19] it on the floor, please? Councillor Francis. Okay. Any discussion.
[34:27] Council Francis, go ahead. Yeah, thanks, Cher. I have an
[34:36] opportunity to review this. This is a tough one. I
[34:42] just want to speak to this really briefly. You know,
[34:44] Devin's tragic Devin Salvi is tragic passing. It shook the
[34:48] community. Um, he was known as a great person and
[34:51] held up in all regard by his friends and family
[34:53] and the community. Um, so once the church shows the
[34:56] secondary school that I graduated from. So this one really
[34:59] hit close to me when, uh, when this magic passing
[35:03] occurred. And so I'm glad we can give him this
[35:05] honour. And, uh, that said, I would like to move
[35:08] the alternative recommendation in this, um, if I can read
[35:12] that out, share. So that is, um, in alternative to
[35:19] the recommendation, the report PW26084 is to direct staff to
[35:23] perceive with the proposed renaming of Roxborough Park to Devin
[35:28] Selby Memorial Park. And if Council Direx to perceive staff
[35:34] to proceed, then the financial consideration of 300 dollars for
[35:37] the supply and installation of the new signs would apply.
[35:39] So. At this time, I'd like to, uh, unless there's
[35:43] anyone else who like to speak to this, I would,
[35:45] um, I'd like to move to, uh, move that alternative
[35:49] recommendation if I could get a seconder. And, um, honour,
[35:54] uh, Devin's name like this. By renaming this part. Thank
[35:58] you. Okay. Thank you. I will second it. So any
[36:03] discussion further on that Councillor Wilson, go ahead. Thank you
[36:09] through you chair. Would stuff just be able to comment
[36:14] on if, uh, dedications of this type, uh, so recognising,
[36:20] um, someone in memoriam is part of the review that's
[36:22] been directed of the facility naming policy, not specific to
[36:25] today, but I think this, this example highlights, uh, the
[36:28] need for that review that I think was motioned at
[36:30] the last cycle of committee meetings and just want to
[36:31] make sure that instance is like this are captured. Because
[36:34] I think, you know, this is, I think the report
[36:36] itself speaks to the fact that this isn't talked about
[36:38] in the policy today. Director Graham. Through the chair, Cynthia
[36:43] Graham, Director of Environmental Services, certainly this is a situation
[36:46] that isn't covered by the current policy. So could be
[36:49] considered as part of that review. And we would look
[36:51] to past examples to inform that review. So this would
[36:55] be one that we would consider. If I understand correctly
[36:59] though, it was still a notice of motion at the
[37:01] last GIC. I don't know that that has actually been
[37:04] directed yet, but anticipate that that's coming forward. And if
[37:07] stafford directed to do that work, then we would, um,
[37:11] look at all of the different ways that we name
[37:13] things across the city and update that policy. No, I
[37:18] think that makes sense. And in the absence of having,
[37:22] um, that kind of general direction or that general guidance
[37:25] on how to do this, um, I think we have
[37:27] to handle the request that we have in front of
[37:29] us with the policy we have, but also the community
[37:31] support that we have, um, and so appreciating that this
[37:34] is out of the jurisdiction, um, I'm happy to support
[37:36] the alternative today. And I think if this has further
[37:39] discussion at committee or council, um, I think it should
[37:41] get there for that discussion. Absolutely. Um, and I think
[37:45] any broader questions about how we name things our best
[37:46] kind of done at the policy level as opposed to
[37:48] looking at individual applications. Um, so supportive the alternative today.
[37:53] Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Just a question about,
[37:56] uh, the 300 dollars. It's mentioned in there for financing
[37:59] directogram. If you can just speak to how that would
[38:00] be resolved. Yeah. Through the chair. So typically when renaming
[38:04] proposals come forward, uh, a funding source for the, uh,
[38:08] cost of either the installation of a brand new sign
[38:12] or just the insert of a sign, which is the
[38:13] case in this, um, instance would need to be identified
[38:18] because Roxborough Park is actively, um, preparing for redevelopment. We
[38:23] had anticipated those costs as part of our, um, park
[38:27] redevelopment cost. So we can cover that 300 dollars within
[38:31] our operating for this instance. Okay. That's helpful. Thank you.
[38:36] So we have a motion on the floor. It's been
[38:38] moved and seconded to rename Roxbro Park to Devon Selvi
[38:41] Memorial Park. Just check to see if there are conversation.
[38:46] Seeing none, we'll have an electronic vote. And the vote
[38:53] is up.
[39:06] And that carries unanimously. Thank you, everybody. So that park
[39:08] will go through the renaming process. Uh, we have correspondence
[39:13] that we need to receive. Uh, there were two correspondences
[39:16] from the Ward Councillor and from Tyrone Greenridge. So could
[39:19] I have a mover in secondary to receive that correspondence
[39:22] Councillor Francis. Councillor Wilson? Uh, show of hands vote. That
[39:30] carries. Thank you very much. We don't have any other
[39:33] items on the agenda. So being no further business, this
[39:36] meeting is adjourned at 106 PM. Thank you, everybody.
