Title
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into a gift and naming right agreement with the Irwin A. and Robert D.

Goodman Foundation for the multi-use path beginning at the existing Capital City Trail immediately east of the Goodman/Atwood Community Center, continuing a distance of approximately 1.1 miles to the existing Marsh View Path at Highway 30, with the fi...
