ITEM: 10.C.1. Consider a resolution naming the City's first recreation center
in honor of Clay Madsen. Clay Madsen (October 30, 1973 -
November 4, 1992) was a leader among young people and
continues to serve as a role model. Staff Resource Person:
Sharon Prete, Parks and Recreation Director
At the April 9, 1998 City Council meeting, Councilman Stewart recommended that the
City's first recreation center be named in honor of Clay Madsen. Staff supports this
recommendation because Clay exemplified all that is "good" in our youth. He served
as a leader and inspired others in the classroom, on the playing field and in his church
youth group.
