WHEREAS, sometime between 1996 and 1997, Pat Williams' single phone call stopped
the clear-cutting of Spruce trees in the little park which later became known as "Williams Park."
Without her voice, it is likely this wonderfully green area would be a flat, level, gray rock,
parking lot; and

tent sites, water service, landscaping, fIre rings, individual camp sites, group camping areas, tent
pads, etc; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Williams has contributed to our community through contributions,
politics; professionally and historically as she recently details the memories of her yester-years
as we all celebrate Seward's Centennial; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Williams is a friend of the park and a watchful and reporting eye,
informing the City of Seward of inappropriate park abuses; and
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public
hearing on the offIcial naming ofthe park.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. The Commission recommends that the area of the City owned park located at 711
Ballaine Boulevard; the area west ofBallaine Boulevard, between Monroe Street and "B" Street
commonly known as "Williams Park" be officially named "Pat Williams Park".
