Commissioner O'Bryan supported maintaining an identity or location for the <br />Complex, and either retaining the name "North County Aquatics Coach", changing the name to <br />"Sebastian River Aquatics Complex", or naming the pool after Fran Adams. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher was not aware of any discussion that was being brought <br />forward to rename the North County Aquatics Center. He acknowledged the role of Fran <br />Adams in obtaining the pool, and advised Ms. Hoier that her input would be considered, if, in <br />the future, the Board undertakes to rename the Aquatics Complex. <br />Commissioner Wheeler was opposed to naming facilities after elected officials, <br />and honoring people who are being paid to do a job. He preferred to reserve that honor for <br />local citizens, who have supported and given of their time freely to the community. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher agreed with Commissioner Wheeler, stating that naming <br />a facility after an individual has normally been done as a posthumous tribute to a citizen who <br />has been a driving force, and not to elected officials. <br />Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, declared that Caroline Ginn had also <br />worked very hard on the North County Aquatics Center, and that if the pool was renamed to <br />honor Ms. Adams, it should include Ms. Ginn's name and be called "Adams/Ginn Aquatics <br />Complex", to honor both former Commissioners. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN. <br />20 <br />April 7, 2009 <br />
