BACKGROUND A formal request has been made by Ron Lamb to the City Council to name the Pea Patch at Riverton Park after Paul and Betty Gully. DISCUSSION City Council Resolution 1400 addresses the process for naming City property. For Parks, the names shall be recommended by the Park Commission to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee. The following unranked criteria is used to guide the naming decision: 1. Geographical location 2. Historical considerations 3. Names of persons 4. Geological features 5. City identity and image Where persons' names are used, they should be people who have made an outstanding contribution to the community, or whose names are of historical significance to the area, or who the City would like to recognize as an important influence in the area. FINANCIAL IMPACT If the name for the Pea Patch is changed, we will need to have new made and will get quotes for this work. RECOMMENDATION Review the request and forward the Commission's recommendation to the Community Affairs and Parks Committee for consideration. ATTACHMENTS Letter from Ron Lamb Minutes from City Council Meeting City of Tukwila Resolution 1400 — Naming city Property `09 12424 42nd Ave. S. • Tukwila, Washington 98168 • Phone: 206 - 768 -2822 • Fax: 206 - 768 -0524 7 Dear Parks Commission members, I'd like to ask the Parks Commission to consider naming the Riverton Park pea patch Gully Gardens in memory of Betty and Paul Gully. Most people on the commission, I'm sure, knew Betty and Paul, but to briefly recap their contributions to the community, here are just a few of their accomplishments and contributions to the community over the decades: • Served as Scout and school leaders • Led school levy campaigns for years • Served on the Rainier Symphony board • Actively participated in the Vision Tukwila process • Served on the Tukwila Childrens Foundation board • Worked on annexation of their Riverton neighborhood to the City • Named Treasures of Tukwila • Operated their own business, Gully Gardens, from their home, a block from the Southgate Park pea patch But most important, they chose to put down roots in here. With Betty and Paul as role models, family members have stayed in Tukwila and still contribute to the community. Their active participation in their community has inspired others, beyond their family, as well. Creating community is like tending a garden. You don't just throw some seeds on the ground and walk away. A community, like a garden, requires constant care and attention. Betty and Paul were always there to provide that care and attention. Though they are no longer with us, their example of community service can continue to inspire us all. What better way to remember them than a garden? I've spoken to family members about this idea, and they are supportive. I also spoke to Betty about it, when she was in the assisted living facility in West Seattle, after Paul had passed away and she had suffered her stroke. I asked her what she thought of the idea of naming the pea patch Gully Gardens. She said, "Do what you think best." I think this is what is best. I hope you agree.

CITIZEN COMMENTS Ron Lamb, 4251 South 139th Street, asked the Council to consider naming the pea patch at Southgate Park Gully Gardens in memory of Betty and Paul Gully. Some of their many accomplishments include being both scout and school leaders, and Betty ran school levies and was involved in the Rainier Symphony. She was also a part of Vision Tukwila and the Tukwila Children's Foundation, and both Betty and Paul worked on annexing their area into the City of Tukwila. They operated their own business here and also put down their roots here and contributed continually to the community. Betty and Paul were constantly available to tend to the needs of Tukwila. Mr. Lamb has spoken to Betty and Paul's family members and they are supportive of the name change. The Councilmembers spoke highly of Betty and Paul Gully and were supportive of the name change and inquired about the process for renaming the pea patch. Dave Johnson, Parks and Recreation Superintendent, explained that naming of park - related properties is a function of the Parks Commission, and then a recommendation is forwarded to the City Council. The next meeting of the Parks Commission is November 20, 2013. A request was made to expedite the process, and Mr. Johnson said he would explore options. CONSENT AGENDA a.
