Huntsville's new city hall is scheduled to open next year.
A member of the Huntsville city council wants to honor former Mayor Steve Hettinger by naming the under-construction city hall for him.
There is also the matter of the 2017 Alabama Memorial Preservation Act, which sets standards to protect historically significant structures. To address that issue, the council last week approved Kling’s resolution to seek an opinion from the state attorney general’s office about naming a public building – using the new city hall as an example – after a “former mayor/legislator” with regard to the preservation act.
Kling, the longest-serving member of the council, was elected to office in 1988 during Hettinger’s first term as mayor. . That resolution, approved by the council, credited Hettinger with the vision for what became John Hunt Park, stating that he “published the first master plan for development of the former airport property into Huntsville’s largest urban park.”
