RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council consider naming of seat in the Mike Balkman
Council Chambers in honor of Culver City resident Kay Lyou and, if desired, direct
the City Manager as deemed appropriate.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At a previous City Council meeting, the City Council provided consensus to consider
this item.
In preparation for this item, staff reviewed City Council Policy Statement 2006-01
“Naming of City Facilities” (attached hereto). In accordance with City Council Policy
2006-01, the proposed naming would fall under the category of a commemorative
naming, for which the individual would need to have made “extraordinary
contributions to the community, which have been consistent and continuous over a
considerable period of time” and “be deceased for a period of at least one year prior
to the initiation of the naming process.” The request seems to comply with those
criteria.
Staff has received a number of e-mails on this subject which are provided as an
attachment. Similar e-mails in support of the re-naming were provided some months
ago by former Council Member/Mayor Steven Gourley and Carol Gross but,
unfortunately, cannot be located. Additionally, some information on Ms. Lyou and
her contributions to the City provided by Ms. Linda Shahinian is also provided.
