<br />APPLICATION FOR NAMING <br />A <br />CITY OF LA PORTE FACILITY <br />Please provide the information requested and retum this application to the City Secretary's Office. <br /> <br />Am*aI1I:Infonnation <br />Name: ::.tephen Barr, Director of Parks & Recreation, City of La Porte, Texas <br />Address: <br />Phone: <br /> <br />1322 S. Broadway, La Porte, TX 77571 <br />;181.470.5136 <br /> <br />Fadlity Infonnation <br />Location: <br /> <br />Current Name: <br />Function or Fadlity: <br />Proposed Name: <br /> <br />3800 Driftwood <br />Pond to Park <br />City Park <br />Cypress Falls Park <br /> <br />l,; <br /> <br />Contributions <br />In the spaces provided below, briefly explain how the proposed individual, family, organization, or <br />entity has contributed to La Porte. You may use any combination of categories, as is <br />appropriate to the nomination, to describe the contributions made. For further assistance, please <br />refer to the Procedures and Guidelines for the Naming of Public Facilities. <br /> <br />his park was acquired from the Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association in 2000 as a <br />detention basin. The City of La Porte, working with the association, developed a plan to turn the <br />detention basin into a park while keeping the functionality of the detention basin, hence the <br />working name "Pond to Park". Now that the park is completed, we are recommending the selection <br />of a permanent name for the park as Cypress Falls Park. <br /> <br />Financial Contribution <br /> <br />The City of La Porte partnered with the Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association to fund the project. <br />The Association contributed a total of $75,000 toward the development and construction of the park, in <br />three phases. <br /> <br />Civic Contribution <br /> <br />The Fairmont Park East Homeowner's Association was given the opportunity to assist with choosing the <br />new park name. They made several suggestions and the recommendation includes a portion oftheirfinal <br />suggestion of "Wood Falls". Staff felt that, since we have planted over 50 Bald Cypress trees around the <br />pond, that "Cypress Falls" sounded better and was more fitting when considering the park setting and <br />intended purpose. <br />
