CC 2019-01-22_11a Renaming Elm St Center and Certain Facilities at Rancho Grande Park
MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: SHERIDAN BOHLKEN, RECREATION SERVICES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDER REQUEST TO RENAME THE ELM STREET COMMUNITY
CENTER AND TO NAME CERTAIN FACILITIES LOCATED AT RANCHO
GRANDE PARK
DATE: JANUARY 22, 2019
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Consideration of a request to rename the Elm Street Community Center the “Mark M.
Millis Community Center”, and to name the children’s playground facility at Rancho
Grande Park the “Mel Cottrell Children’s Playground”.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The estimated cost for replacing two street signs at the Elm Street Community Center
would cost approximately $51 per sign, plus materials and staff time to replace the
wooden sign in front of the building. Signage for the Elm Street Community Center and
the playground facility at Rancho Grande Park will not exceed $1,000.00. A mid-year
budget adjustment may be needed to allocate funds for these two sign projects.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider a request by Mayor Ray Russom to: 1) adopt a Resolution to rename the Elm
Street Community Center to “Mark M. Millis Community Center”, in honor of his civic
service to the City of Arroyo Grande; and 2) adopt a Resolution to name the children’s
playground facility at Rancho Grande Park the “Mel Cottrell Children’s Playground” in
recognition of his volunteerism, community service, and donations benefitting the City of
Arroyo Grande.
BACKGROUND:
On February 14, 1967, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 735 (Attachment 1),
which established policies for the naming of public parks. This policy guided the naming
of public parks until June 24, 2014, when the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4603
amending the policy (Attachment 2).
At the December 11, 2018 City Council meeting, Mayor Ray Russom requested, and the
Council concurred, to schedule a future agenda item proposing to rename parks and/or
park facilities after Mark M. Millis and Mel Cottrell.

ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The current park naming policy for the City of Arroyo Grande is guided by the following
policies:
1. Parks and recreation areas of sufficient size, which are to be used for recreational
purposes shall be given Spanish names and identified as a park.
2. Park areas which are too small to provide recreational facilities, are located or
designed primarily to serve purposes other than recreation, shall be called “Pocket
Parks.”
3. In cases where a “Park” or “Pocket Park” has been donated in part or in its entirety
for park purposes to the City of Arroyo Grande, if so recommended by the Parks
and Recreation Commission, said “Park” or “Pocket Park” may commemorate the
name of the person or person’s instrumental in said gift to the City.
4. In cases where land is already owned by the City and a majority of funds have
been donated for the purpose of developing or renovation the park and the donor
has made important contributions to the Arroyo Grande community, upon
recommendation by the Parks and Recreation Commission, said “Park” or “Pocket
Park” may commemorate the person or persons instrumental in said gift to the City.
5. In cases in which public property cannot be identified as set forth in Sections 1, 2,
3, and 4 hereof, upon recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission,
said property may be identified by other appropriate names.
Due to the disbandment of the Parks and Recreation Commission and adoption of
Ordinance No. 695 (Attachment 3), this item is coming directly before the City Council for
consideration. At a future date, staff will come before the City Council with an amendment
to the current park naming policy to remove the reference to the Parks and Recreation
Commission.
‘Important contributions’ stated in Section 4 of the park naming policy may include, but
are not limited to the following: a) Enhances the lives of the members of the community,
b) Fosters a sense of community identity and pride, c) Promotes the preservation and use
of historic resources, d) Engages in actions to improve the environmental health and
aesthetics of the community, and e) Improves the local economy by attracting tourism or
other businesses to the community.
Mark M. Millis has been serving the community of Arroyo Grande since 1972
when he began serving on the City Council. Over 18 years, he made significant
contributions to effect positive changes and improvements to the City. He served
on the City Council from 1972-1980, serving the last 2 years of his term as the
appointed Mayor. He was elected as Council Member again from 1980-1984 and
1986-1988, before running for and being elected as Mayor in 1988. He served two
terms as directly elected Mayor through 1992. He also served on
various boards and advisory committees, aiding as a leading proponent
of parks and recreation, and recognizing the importance of family
participation in recreational activities in creating lasting relationships within
our community (Attachments 4 & 5).

Mel Cottrell has been a co-sponsor for special projects within City facilities and an active
volunteer at Rancho Grande Park. In 2012, Mel and Jan Cottrell donated two shade
structures at Rancho Grande Park totaling over $23,000. In 2016, Mel and Jan Cottrell
also donated the audio/visual system at the Woman’s Club Community Center. Over the
last 12 years, Mr. Cottrell has also made a significant impact on the community through
his volunteerism. He has volunteered his time on a routine, if not daily basis to monitor
and address the maintenance of Rancho Grande Park by drying the slides for the children
to use after inclement weather, filling in gopher holes in the fields for use by children and
other park goers, monitoring and disposing of trash, cleaning bathrooms, refilling doggie
bags that he himself purchased, and demonstrating a general altruistic presence of care,
concern, and responsibility of the park. Mel Cottrell has also been awarded on two
separate occasions the Community Service Award for dedication and service to the City.
Naming the children’s playground in commemoration of Mel Cottrell would be consistent
with the park naming policy. The children’s play area at Rancho Grande Park is an ideal
location to name after Mel Cottrell due to his interest of keeping the park clean, safe, and
accessible for children and families.
ADVANTAGES:
Approval of naming the Elm Street Community Center in commemoration of Mark M. Millis
and naming the playground area in commemoration of Mel Cottrell at Rancho Grande
Park will provide recognition to two very dedicated and community-minded individuals.
These actions also support the City’s organizational values by honoring individuals who
have demonstrated pride in their community through service, professionalism, teamwork,
and commitment.
DISADVANTAGES:
There may be citizens who do not agree with these considerations.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the proposed Resolutions to rename the Elm Street Community Center to the
“Mark M. Millis Community Center” and to name the children’s playground facility at
Rancho Grande Park the “Mel Cottrell Children’s Playground”;
2. Adopt one of the two proposed Resolutions and defer consideration of the other until
a later date;
3. Do not adopt either Resolution; or
4. Provide other direction to staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
No environmental review is required for this item.
