In recognition of his tireless efforts on behalf of the City of Central, the Dorothy Lee Placer Park has been renamed the William C. Russell, Jr. Park. By unanimous decision of the Central City Aldermen, Rand Anderson, J.D. Carelli, and Bruce Schmalz, a resolution was adopted at their regular council meeting on December 3 to change the name of the park. The resolution states that: “Wm. C. Russell, Jr. has continuously served the City of Central in the office of Alderman from January 14, 1947 to January 2, 1963; and the office of Mayor from January 2, 1963 until January 7, 1987.” Additionally, he “has diligently performed as alderman and mayor and given unselfishly of his personal time and resources, thereby safeguarding the City of Central for a period of 40 years.”
