Motion adopted unanimously.
A request from the Coalition for Concerned Citizens Committee
for a two street name change.
Mr. H. Brigham: When the reverend came to me an talked about
,it, I told him to bring it here for discussion, and see what the
legal requirements are for a name change.
Elder W. Al. Ferguson: This is in regards to the UNITED HOUSE
OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLE, in honoring our Bishop and his wife. His
wife, Deloris Madison, was born in Augusta and partly raised on
Mill St. We are requesting that Mill St to Florence St., be
renamed in her honor, Deloris Madison, road, street or avenue. And
in honoring our Bishop, we are requesting that Wrightsboro Rd., to
9th St., or from 12th St., to B. L. Dent Blvd., where the railroad
tracks cross over on Wrightsboro Rd., be changed to S. C. Madison,
road, street, or avenue. We have gone out in the community and the I
concensus reveals that we wouldn't have many objectors to that name --
change.
Mr. Kuhlke: We are talking about two changes, one is for the
Bishops wife and the other is for the Bishop. The problem we ran
into last time, is we didn't know who the street was originally
named for. I don't have any problem with it, provided there is not
some long standing family that these streets were named for and
that they may come back and object to it. Can you could get us
some background on the streets that you are asking us to rename.
Elder Ferguson: Yes sir. We will check that out, however, I
don't foresee any problems with the areas.
Mr. Mayor: You may want to get Mr. Patty, at Planning and
Zoning to go back and research this and go back a little farther
than he did last time.
.Mr. Kuhlke: I would like to make a motion that we accept this
as information and we add it to our agenda for the next Committee
Meeting .
Mr. Zetterberg: Second.
Mr. Oliver:
Augusta.
And I'll send it to Mr. Patty and Historic
I
Motion adopted unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to discuss the meeting was
adjourned.
