ITEM 5. 2

CITY STAFF REPORT UNE 8, 2020 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING

ITEM: NAMING OF NEW CITY PARKS

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution to name the Neighborhood Park in Mossdale after William S. Moss and the Neighborhood Park in Stanford Crossing in Honor of Leland and 7ane Stanford and Related Budget Amendment

SUMMARY:

On March 5, 2020 the Parks and Recreation Commission voted to recommend Council approve the proposed naming of two of the city' s newest neighborhood Parks.

Staff requests that the City Council adopt a resolution to name the neighborhood park within the Mossdale development as William S. Moss Park, and the neighborhood park within the Stanford Crossing Development as Leland and Jane Stanford Park.

BACKGROUND:

The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting the City Council review and consider the Park and Facility Naming Applications to name two new parks within the City of Lathrop.

Mossdale Neighborhood Park Mossdale Neighborhood Park is an approximately 4. 15 acre park site located on the corner of Inland Passage Way and Golden Spike Trail. The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to name this park location after William S. Moss. William Moss, originally a river boat captain from Ohio, arrived in in the 1850' s as part of the Rush. He arrived in and crossed the San Joaquin River on a ferry here in Lathrop. Recognizing the river ferry as a potentially lucrative business venture, he negotiated with the owners and purchased the river ferry. Following the purchase, he renamed the ferry to Moss' Ferry. This purchase was so successful for Mr. Moss that he returned to Ohio and sold all of his holdings and moved his family and his livestock to California. Upon his return, he purchased approximately 10, 000 acres of property along the eastern bank of the San ) oaquin River south of Stockton. This land became known as Moss' Dale, which is now known to us as Mossdale Landing.

Stanford Crossing Neighborhood Park Stanford Crossing Neighborhood Park is an approximately 4. 13 acre park site located on what will be Locomotive Street adjacent to the Lathrop Generations Center. The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing to name this location after Leland and Jane Stanford. , one of the " Big Four" builders of the transcontinental railroad, was responsible for the development of the railroad through San Joaquin CITY STAFF REPORT PAGE 2 7UNE 8, 2020 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING ADOPT A RESOLUTION TO NAME 2 NEW CITY PARKS AND RELATED BUDGET AMENDMENT

County. As part of the team developing the railroad, Mr. Stanford discussed this business partnership with the council of Stockton for the location of the tracks through Stockton. When an agreement could not be reached, it is said that Stanford' s company laid the tracks approximately 200 yards outside of the Stockton limits and continued south, arriving at a location adjacent to the eastern edge of the San Joaquin river to develop a town to compete with Stockton. The town was originally known as Wilson' s station and renamed to Lathrop to honor his wife' s ( Jane Lathrop) family. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford were also known for founding Stanford University as a gift to the children of California.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The naming of parks and facilities provides an opportunity to capture and retain some of the history of the City of Lathrop. Not only is this a unique opportunity for the current residents of Lathrop but an educational opportunity for the future families of Lathrop in regards to the history of our City.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Parks and Recreation Department would like to include a monument at each park location to include a brief biography for the person or persons honored by each park. The monuments will be designed to match park signs and will cost approximately 5900 per location. The $ 5900 expense at William S. Moss Park ( Mossdale South Neighborhood Park) will be included as part of the park construction expenses associated with PK 19- 03. Funding for the installation of the monument at Leland and Jane Stanford Park ( Stanford Crossing Neighborhood Park) will be directed from Measure C funds ( 1060- 99- 00- 990- 90- 10) when approved by the Measure C oversight committee:

Estimated Costs of Park Monument per Location: Custom Precast Monument with laser etched plaque 3, 700 Installation of monument 1, 500 15% project contingency 780

Monument Costs 5, 980

7 Captain il iam Simms IVloss

I 79$— March 25, 188)

4`"'° } ' Captain t illiam Simms M ss, b. VA son of Ca tain Zealy Mass and Jeanne[ or Janet Glasscock { dau hter of Grebary Glascock & Jemima

x Dulin).

I-ie was born in I79$ in Virginia and raised on a wealthy Southern planta[ ion. Moss had warked variaus jobs on the Mississippi and Illinais rivers starting us a 1at- baater and then working his way up to captain before buying a steamboat af his own. That allowed him to make a small fortune and he purchased se eral boats that plied on the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. Thus, William Moss, now became Capt. Williarn Mass. T3 is prosperity allowed Capt. Moss to branch out into the telegraph business, newspaper publishing, and railroad investments.

In 1856, he made his rst trip to Califarnia and al'ter being impressed with what he saw, he decided ta make California his home. When he traveled from San Francisco a id reached the San Joaguin River, Moss crossed ihe river an the Doak and Bonsell ferry. As California was booming with gold rush activity, Moss saw the river fcrry as a good investment and convinced the owners o sell it to him. He changed the name to Moss' Ferry

After Moss' venture on the river proved pra itable. He returned to IlIinois and began liquidating his holdings including a large family plant tion in his native Virginia. He sald much of what he ativned back in IlIinois, but rnanaged to bring several hundred cattle and horses with him to California. Upon arriving here this time, he purchased about 1Q, 000 acres in San Joaquin County, atong the San Joaquin river near 5tQckton and werit into farming.

This large valley of land, immediately east of the San .Toaquin River adjacent to the Moss' Ferry river crossing, bec me known as Moss' dale. Today this property is known as Mossdale Landinb in Lathrop, CA. Later Captain Mass purchased a home in San Leandro and began investing his money in other enterprises such as the establishment of the" Democratic Press" newspaper in 1864 until the death of Abraham Lincoln, an founding af the which he ultimately sold to Senator George Hearst, ' s father.

Moss was married twice, first to Mary Choate, to whom he marriet in Illinois and wha passed away in Illinois. She was the mother of three of Capt. Mosses children: Mrs. Anna W. (Jack}, Mrs. Henrieita W. ( Griffith) and Loui Moss. His second marria e, which also taok place in Illinois, was to Caroline Buttrick, a native of Massachusetts. She bore Capt. Moss four children: Mrs. Mary Percival), William S., Bradley, and Mrs. Caroline {McDougald}.

After his wife, Cara(ine's, passing at their San Leandro home, Capt. Moss took up residence on his ranch in San Joaquin County, and it was there that he passed away of natural causes on March 25, 1883 at the age of 85. ity of

Amasa L. eland Stanford was born in 1824 in Colonie, Neav York. Leland was one c f eight V''' 3 > children of Josiah and Elizabeth Phiilips q. `',"' Stanfard. Jane Elizabe#h Lathrop born in 1828 in Albany, New York, she was the daughter of t; shopkeeper Dyer Lathrop and Jane Anne Shields) Lathrop. Leland and Jane were married an September 30, 1850, and lived in Port Washington, Wisconsin Port Washington, where he had practiced 1aw since 1848.

In i8 2, having lost his law library and other t,: property ta a fire, Stanford followed his five brothers to California during Ehe California Gold s,' Rush. His wife, Jane, returned tempararily to Albany and her family. He went into business s with his brothers a d becarne the keeper of a general s#ore far miners at Michigan Ciry, California, later the name changed to Michigan a A Bluff in Placer County; laker he had a who(esale house. He served as a justice of#he peace and helped organize kt e Sacramento Library Association, which later became the Sacramento Public Library. In 1855, he returned to Albany ta join his wife but faund the pace of Eastern life taa sfow after khe excitement af developing California.

In i856, he and Jane moved to Sacramento, where he engaged in mercantile pursuits on a large scale. Stanford was one of the four merchants knawn popularly as " The Big Four" who were the key investors in Chief Engineer Theodore Dehone Judah's plan for the Cen#ral Pacific Railroad, which the five of them incarporated on June 28, 1861, and af which Stanfarci was elected president. The other three associates were Charles Crocker, Mark Haplcins, and C Ilis P. Huntington.

Stanford ran unsuccessfully for in 1859. Ne was naminaEed again in 1861 and won the election. He served one term, then limitecf to twa years. The couple did noi have any chi(dren far years, until their only child, a son, Leland DeWitt Stanford, was born in 1868 when his father was forty-four.

While the Cenfral Pacific was under construction, Stanford and his associates in 1868 acquired control of the Sauthern Pacific Railroad. Stanford was elected president of the Sauthern Pacific, a post he held until i 89p (except for a brief period in 1869- 70 when Tevis was acting president) when he was ousted by Collis Huntington. As head of the railraad company that built the por#ian af the " First Transcontinental Railroed" from Sacramenta eastward over the Sierra mountains in California ta Nevada and , Stanford presided at the ceremonia! driving of "Last Spike" in Promontary, Utah on May 1Q, 18fi9. The grade of th GPRR met tha# af the Union Pacific Railroad, which had been buift westward from its eastern terminus at Council Bluffs, Iowa/ Omaha, Nebraska. He was everr given the honor of driving the final spike. The couple did not have any chiidren for years, until tt eir only ci ild, a sor, l.eland DeWitt Stanford { eland Stanford, Jr.), was bom in 1868 wnen his father was forty-four. ( n 1884, v rhile on a famiiy grant taur of Europe Leland Stanford Jr. cantracted typhoid and eventualiy passed away after weeks of alternately improving and worsening canclitions. This was t va mon#hs shy h of his 16' birthday.

The company laid aut the town subdividing the tract west o# tha railroad hotel into 16 oblong blocks. Up to this time the town had been known as Wilson' s station, The eompany named the city l.athrap, ta honor Jane Stanfard' s family.

To honor their only child the couple decided " l'he children of California shall be our children" the cauple founded Leland Stanford Junior University. The university of icially opened its doars in 1891 under the cEirection of eland Stanford until his dea#h in June of 1893. Jane toc k control af the universiry upon the passing of her husband.
