SUWECT : Request to Rename City Building
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:r-----
I respectfully request to rename the Mounted Patrol stables at Lummus Park after Retired Officer
Manny Gomez, who served in the Mounted Patrol Detail for approximately 16 years.
In January 2006, Officer Manny Gomez was severely injured while working the Three Kings Day
Parade as a Mounted Patrol Officer. Officer Gomez fell off his horse shortly after mounting,
causing him to suffer a spinal cord injury.
Before his injury, Officer Gomez had been instrumental in procuring a location for the ne-,t,
Mounted Patrol stables. With his assistance, an ideal site for the new stables was located at the
historic Lummus Park.
In recognition of his contributions to the Mounted Patrol Detail and the fact that he suffered a
debilitating injury while performing his duties, I recommend that the Mounted Patrol stables at
Lummus Park be dedicated to Officer Manny Gomez.
