On May 28, 2013, City Council gave direction regarding development of the triangle <br />property which included installation of a gateway sign, irrigation, landscaping and a game table <br />with checkered board. On March 21, 2023, the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee motioned <br />a recommendation that the City Council officially designate the City -owned property as <br />"Triangle Park". On October 23, 2023 the City Council Tabled the agenda item that included a <br />Resolution to designate the name "Triangle Park" and with the motion requested the PTRC <br />suggest another name. At the November 14, 2023 PTRC meeting, the commission motioned to <br />recommend the name "Checkerboard Park". <br />PTRC chose the name from one of the area's features which is a picnic table with a checkerboard <br />on it. They also discussed the idea of adding more of these tables to this space and potentially <br />hosting checkers or chess tournaments. <br />The attached Resolution 2023-051 designates the City -owned property as "Checkerboard Park". <br />Given Council direction, staff will bring the resolution forward for adoption at the next available <br />regular meeting. If Council adopts the resolution, City staff will order and install such signage on <br />the property as needed to reflect this designation, and to take such other action as needed to <br />update the City's official website and publications to reflect the same. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
