COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM C Consent Informational Public Hearing Regular X February 12,2001 Regular Meeting ;2--------' Mgr. / Dept. Authorization REQUEST: The City Manager is requesting that the City Commission of the City of Winter Springs decide how they would like to recognize former City Clerk, Mary T. Norton, who recently passed away. PURPOSE: The City Commission is being requested to consider how they would like to recognize former City Clerk, Mary T. Norton, who recently passed away. CONSIDERATIONS: At the January 5, 1970 Village Council Meeting of the Village of North Orlando, Ms. Mary T. Norton was introduced by Mayor Clifford Jordan as an applicant for the job of "Village Clerk." A Special Session of the Village Council of the Village of North Orlando was held on January 22. During this Special Session, a Motion was made to nominate Ms. Mary T. Norton as the Village Clerk. The Motion passed. Ms. Norton was to begin her employment on January 26, 1970. The first Minutes that Village Clerk, Mary T. Norton of the Village of North Orlando submitted were those from the Regular Meeting of February 2, 1970. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 12,2001 REGULAR AGENDA ITEM "C" PAGE20F4 Ms. Mary T. Norton served the City of Winter Springs until her retirement on September 30, 1994. At the January 22, 2001 Regular Meeting of the City of Winter Springs City Commission, there was discussion about what could be done in remembrance of Ms. Mary T. Norton. . Mayor Partyka advised the City Commission that Ms. Jan Palladino, Secretary to the City Manager suggested that a City street be named in her honor. Following some discussion on this subject, it was suggested that if a street was to be named after her, then possibly it could be the street that she resided on. Ms. Norton resided at 30 North Edgemon Avenue, Winter Springs, Florida. A . During "Public Input," Mr. Carl Stephens, a resident of the City, suggested that Ms. Norton's name be added to a plaque on one of the landscaped islands in the City. . Under "Reports," Commissioner Gennell concurred with the previous ideas to honor Mary Norton, and suggested that we may want to re- name "Sunshine Park" in remembrance of her. ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: In 1956, Raymond Moss and William Edgemon purchased property under the name of the ''North Orlando Company. With this in mind, it may be inappropriate to consider re-naming Edgemon Avenue. A City employee, who worked with Ms. Norton for many years stated that besides working, she walked a lot, and loved to garden. FUNDING: None required at this time. CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 12, 200t REGULAR AGENDA ITEM "C" PAGE30F4 RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. It is suggested that the City Commission decide whether they do or do not wish to do something special in honor of Ms. Mary Norton. 2. If the City Commission does not want to do anything further, then no other action is necessary. 3. Ifthe City Commission is in agreement that they do wish to honor Ms. Mary Norton, then they may wish to consider the following suggestions (some which have been mentioned under "Considerations,") or some other suggestions: a) Name a City street after her b) Rename "Edgemon A venue" after her c) Have a plaque with Ms. Norton's name placed in one ofthe City's beautified islands d) Name a park in her honor e) Re-name Sunshine Park in her honor Other suggestions that the City Commission may desire to consider could be: f) Place a large beautiful tree in the front of City Hall, with a bench underneath it. The spot Gould have a small plaque in remembrance of her g) Plant additional flowers around the City Hall sign, and place a plaque there, in her honor h) Since Ms. Norton loved to walk, name a place or a portion of the Trail that goes through the City of Winter Springs, and name it in her honor. This could be done in coordination with the Greenways and Trails organization i) Proclaim a day of the year, (only for Ms. Norton) in the honor of Ms. Norton, and hold some kind of ceremony. Frame the Proclamation in a special way and hang it in the lobby of City Hall, in her remembrance j) Place some kind of special brass or bronze plate, in her honor, and have it hung in the Commission Chambers CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS REGULAR MEETING - FEBRUARY 12,2001 REGULAR AGENDA ITEM "C" PAGE40F4 ATTACHMENTS: A.
