2008.
Mayor Anderson presented for discussion development of guidelines for the Walk of
Fame. He stated this is the area in front of the Fair Theatre. Currently there are five
plaques. Jimmy Dean, Jim Clark, Terry Cook, Pete and Nelda Laney. There are
currently no guidelines in place for nomination of individuals. He stated the direction he
is headed is to appoint a Walk of Fame Committee that will operate under the Council's
direction. There will be five members with one chairman. The Committee would
develop criteria for the Walk and look at what can be done to dress up the walk and
make it look nice. He stated the first thing would be for the Mayor to name the
Committee and then bring to the Council for ratification. Eric contacted other cities to
find out what guidelines they have in place. Anyone going into the Walk would require
City Council approval.
Councilmember Trusler asked what guidelines other cities had in place? Eric advised
that two things would be that the nominee be born in Plainview or had input in
community, region and world.
Councilmember Pena asked how many plaques would fit in front of the Fair? Eric
advised that probably 18 would fit but they would be somewhat crowded.
Councilmember Dunlap asked what is the estimated cost for the renovations and who
pays for the plaques? The renovation costs would be looked at by the Committee and
the costs of the plaque would be borne by the City.
Councilmember Pena asked if hotel/motel tax could be used for the renovation work?
Leslie Pearce, City Attorney stated it might be possible.
Mayor Anderson stated since there were no further comments he would move forward
and in the future bring to the Council to ratify his Committee appointments.
