M D Barnett Road (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance changing the name of Carswell Access Road to Lt. M D Barnett Road. DISCUSSION: On April 12, 2011, the City Council approved a Council Proposal to change the name of the Carswell Access Road to honor the accomplishments of Lieutenant M D Barnett, Jr. The President of the United States awarded the Navy Cross to Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Marshall David Barnett, Jr. as a result of his heroic efforts while serving in the United States Naval Reserve. Lt. Barnett was a pilot of a carrier-based Navy Scout Dive Bomber in action against enemy Japanese forces in the Sibuyan Sea. During the Air Battle of Leyte Gulf on October 24, 1944, with his plane badly damaged by a burst of hostile fire in the execution of his mission, he continued his same daring tactics and released his bomb load at perilously low altitude to score a direct hit on the enemy ship. His conduct throughout this action reflects great credit upon himself and was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Reserve. A map of the area is attached as Exhibit A. The Fire Department does not object this street name request. The Transportation and Public Works Department states that the cost for changing and installing new street name signs will be $612.50. The extent of the name change will affect the road between its intersection with Meandering Road and Military Parkway. Notice to affected property owners along both sides of the street being changed was mailed on May 13, 2011. A copy of the notice is attached as Exhibit B. For public safety reasons, once the City Council officially changes the street name to Lt. M D Barnett Road, new street name signs will need to be installed to reflect the appropriate name. This street is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
