City leaders on Monday once more took up the question of what feature in Auburn’s landscape they should name after former Mayor Pete Lewis.

By the end of the discussion, council members had whittled their list of possibilities from four to two: a lake on West Hill; and the Auburn Environmental Park.

Council makes its final decision on Monday, Feb. 6.

Lewis was Auburn’s mayor from 2002 to 2014.

Council member Yolanda Trout-Manuel noted that in a recent conversation with Lewis, the former mayor had expressed his preference for the lake on West Hill, which became part of Auburn in the annexation nine years ago that also brought Lea Hill into the city.

“I feel like we should go with (Lewis’) wishes,” said Councilman Bill Peloza.

“I also talked to the former mayor about this, and (the lake) is his preference,” said councilman Bob Baggett.

Councilman John Holman wondered if by naming something, the City Council would be doing what the parks board should do.

“They have some rather detailed responsibilities in naming parks. … If council names parks, what’s the parks board’s role in all of this?” Holman asked.

Deputy Mayor Largo Wales said the council would seek the advice of City Attorney Dan Heid ahead of Monday’s council meeting.

Among the seven possibilities on the original list were the M Street Southeast underpass, and a 20-acre site along the Green River on 104th Street Southeast, which is to become a City park.

Among other features in Auburn graced with the names of former mayors are Gaines Park, Les Gove Park, the Charles A. Booth Bridge and the Stanley Kersey Bridge.
