Mr. Stewart's actions to build the initial field served to offer opportunities for learning of a team sport in baseball and softball to children of all races and colors. It also offered physical activity and team-building opportunities to area children, reducing the risk of area children to vehicles/traffic accidents and gang activity, among other positive impacts. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign the attached proclamation naming the ballfield at Fairview Park for James "Junebug" Stewart, and authorize staff to work with the Board to schedule and plan for a dedication ceremony to be held in October/November 2015.
