<br />RESOLUTION NO. 4957 <br /> <br />A RESOLUTION RENAMING THE "WAYNE L. MORSE RANCH" AS <br />THE "WAYNE MORSE FAMILY FARM." <br /> <br />The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: <br /> <br />A. On February 10, 1975, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2368 in support <br />of "the concept of acquisition by the State of Oregon of the Wayne L. Morse Ranch in Eugene <br />for preservation as a historic park and monument to Wayne L. Morse," thereby officially naming <br />the park as the Wayne L. Morse Ranch. <br /> <br />B. The Wayne Morse Historical Park Corporation (WMHPC) Board has requested <br />that the name of the park be formally changed to the "Wayne Morse Family Farm" to more <br />accurately memorialize Senator Wayne Morse. According to the WMHPC, the Morse property <br />had been used as a farm rather than a ranch. However, during the early stages in the process of <br />the State's purchase of the property, the site was erroneously referred to as a ranch and use of the <br />name "Wayne L. Morse Ranch" continued throughout execution of the documents associated <br />with the purchase of the property. <br /> <br />C. The surviving Morse daughters, Nancy Morse Campbell and Amy Morse Bilich, <br />approve of the name change. In addition, the City's Parks Department, the neighbors, through <br />the Crest Drive Citizens Association, and the Morse Dog Park group all approve of the name <br />change as being a fitting tribute to the family and the site's history. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a <br />Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: <br /> <br />Section 1. The Council approves and adopts the name of the "Wayne Morse Family <br />Farm" as the official name of the historic park which had been named by Resolution No. 2368 as <br />the "Wayne L. Morse Ranch." <br /> <br />Section 2. The City Manager is authorized to cause all appropriate signage changes <br />to identify this change. <br /> <br />Section 3. <br /> <br />This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. <br /> <br />The foregoing Resolution adopted the 13th day of October, 2008. <br /> <br />J~!\.l{ ~ <br /> <br />City Recor er <br /> <br />Resolution - Page 1 of 1 <br />4957 (00211552).DOC <br />
