Evanston’s Human Services Committee Monday night voted to recommend City Council approval of a new policy for naming parks and other facilities in the city.
The policy was developed by the Parks and Recreation Board after a request was received two years ago to rename Harbert Park along the North Shore Channel to honor a long-time neighborhood activist, Betty Payne.
Parks Board President Denise Barreto said board members discovered the city didn’t have a policy to address that question and over the months since developed the eight-page policy that was presented to the Human Services Committee.
