RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Section 24-91 of the City Code requires that all new arterials and collectors be named from the official list of street names approved by the City Council. The list is adopted by the City Council and names can be added only by resolution of the City Council. This Resolution represents an update to the official list of eligible street names in order to add four new names and delete three names that have been selected since the last update in February of 2006. This is not a request to name or rename a specific street. This action represents a revision of the official list in order to keep name selection opportunities as current as possible. BACKGROUND Five Previous Actions: A. Spring 2000 In the Spring 2000, City Council updated the official list to delete nine names that had been previously selected and added seven new names. Of these seven, five were selected to rename existing County Roads in the southeast quadrant of the City. The Board of County Commissioners then approved an action to continue these newly selected names to the limits of the Growth Management Area. The affected roads were: From: To: County Road 7 Strauss Cabin Road County Road 9 Ziegler Road County Road 1 I Timberline Road County Road 32 Carpenter Road County Road 36 Kechter Road January 20, 2009 -2- Item No. 18 B. Fall2003 In the Fall 2003, City Council again updated the list to delete the five names that had been previously selected and added 16 new names. Of these 16, six were selected to rename existing County roads in the northeast quadrant of the City, five as arterial streets and one as a state highway. In addition, four names were selected to name new collector streets. Again,the Board of County Commissioners approved continuing the newly selected names for the arterials and state highway to logical termination points both inside and outside the Growth Management Area. The affected arterial/minor arterial roads were: From: To: County Road 50 Mountain Vista Drive County Road 52 Richards Lake Road County Road 54 Douglas Road County Road 11 Tumberry Road County Road 9 Giddings Road State Highway One Terry Lake Road C. September 2005 In September 2005, four new names were added and 18 names were deleted for being selected or being duplicates. From this updated list,three collector streets were renamed as: From: To: Coffey Parkway William Neal Parkway Katandin Drive Charles Brockman Drive Sagebrush Drive Joseph Allen Drive D. February 2006 In February 2006, 41 new names were added and five names were deleted. In addition, Council took the following specific action to rename a collector street in the southeast quadrant: From: To: Cambridge Avenue Lady Moon Drive E.
