Dahlia Park Name Change Update:
Tim O'Neil of Master Gardeners attended with two Master Gardener members, Shirley Williams and Honey Niemann, and provided updates to their name change proposal for Dahlia Park including a history of the park so as not to lose the contributions of early efforts and
proponents such as Art Tichner and Herb Heinle
Board discussed the need for Master Gardeners to
provide a detailed nomination that included explicit information about the nominee's 'outstanding civic service to the city, community, or city government' as per Municipal Code 2.85, since Board members and the
