City Council, at its meeting held on 9 May 2007, referred the aforementioned motion (Motion 13/14) to the Community and Protective Services Committee. The full text of the Motion follows:
That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to
consider and approve the following Motion:
WHEREAS on August 23, 2006 the following
motion was passed as Motion 63/20:
WHEREAS the very
significant civic contribution provided by Bob MacQuarrie, warrants permanent
and prominent recognition under the City's Commemorative Naming program and
such recognition should be associated with a significant City facility, park or
thoroughfare;
WHEREAS as a
respected city father, Bob MacQuarrie's contribution was evident throughout the
Region, however the extensive and focused contribution he provided in the
Township of Gloucester would suggest that his service be appropriately
commemorated in a prominent 'Gloucester' sector of the City;
WHEREAS Bob MacQuarrie has long
been a strong proponent of the Orléans sector of the City - the original
suburban development plan for the Orleans of the city area occurred under the
visionary and watchful eye of then Gloucester Reeve Bob MacQuarrie;
WHEREAS support for community service and public
access to community facilities and recreation spaces was a hallmark of Bob's 26
years of public service - a focus on community as contemplated in this proposed
renaming can be a lasting legacy;
WHEREAS while Bob MacQuarrie was
Reeve of Gloucester, he signed off on plans for the construction of a multi-use
community facility in Orléans as a prominent feature of the major expansion
planned for this area. It became known as the Orléans Recreation Complex;
WHEREAS the complex has housed a
library, daycare, restaurant, physiotherapy and other clinics, and offices and
presently serves the community through a number of service and recreation
facilities, such as meeting rooms, a preschool, the Elizabeth Manley
International Skating Centre, two ice pads, swimming pool, fitness center,
squash courts, canteen, art gallery, storage rooms, a skateboard park and the
like;
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that Orléans Recreation
Complex/ Complexe Récreatif d'Orléans should be renamed to:
Orléans
Complexe récréatif Bob MacQuarrie
AND WHEREAS this year’s .3% budget increase has left no money to implement the sign changes, of which an additional $20,000 is required to perform the work;
AND WHEREAS the wording of the Bob MacQuarrie
Recreation Complex is visually awkward on any potential signage for the site;
AND WHEREAS the Orléans title is a directional indicator and should
remain in the name;
AND WHEREAS the MacQuarrie Family is in agreement and support of the name change;
THERERFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT $20,000 be allocated from the City wide reserves to pay for the signage at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex;
AND THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the name on the
signage be amended to read, depending on signage layout:
Bob MacQuarrie
Recreation Complex
Complexe récreatif
-Orléans-
OR
Bob MacQuarrie
Recreation Complex/ Complexe récreatif
-Orléans-
