Resident urges Dade City to pick park names earlier in planning
During the public-comment period at a Dade City meeting, resident Rose Figa urged city officials to choose official names for park projects earlier in the planning process, saying names should be selected during planning so they can clear legal review.

"In the future, when we decide to build a park or whatever, you need to have, in that planning at that time, a name," Rose Figa said. She cited experience working at Busch Gardens: "Before anything else was done, they picked a name because they had to go through legal process to make sure that name was okay to use."

Figa said the project currently being discussed has been referred to informally as a splash pad but lacks an official name. "For 2 year almost 2 years, and we still don't know what it is. It's called the splash pad. It's a spoke. It's that yellow building. It's that playground, whatever," she said.

No formal action or vote followed the comment; the meeting proceeded to close shortly afterward and was adjourned by an official identified in the record as Reverend Butler.

The comment was made during public comment and did not generate a staff report, motion, or vote during the session.
