Karkin Park, honoring the language of a local tribe, is the recommended choice; Ballot argument for city clerk measure and new regulations for trees, bees and chickens also on Wednesday's agenda
Dec. 6 update: The City Council rejected the suggested name of Karkin Park at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, after lengthy public comment and discussion. The council sided with the majority of public comment that pushed for Pine Meadow Park to be the name, given that Pine Meadow is the name that the area has long been known as from the time that it housed Pine Meadow Golf Course. The council did say it will look for opportunities to honor the Karkin language and indigenous tribe elsewhere in the city and in consultation with local tribes.
