COUNCL POLICY
TOWN OF LOS GATOS
Subject: Naming Town-Owned Facilities Page: Enabling Actions:
1 of 1 Resolution 1996-133
To establish a policy for naming Town-owned facilities.
SCOPE
This policy applies to all Town-owned facilities, other than streets (which are covered by other procedures).
BACKGROUND
There are many deserving individuals after whom facilities could be named. The strength of the community is derived partially from its history, which includes its events and outstanding citizens. This policy seeks to provide for honoring Los Gatos' history.
POLICY
Since there are more deserving people than there are facilities, it is the policy of the Town Council to consider naming Town-owned facilities after individual persons only in the following circumstances:
1. When an extremely close connection can be made between the history of the facility itself and the person after whom the facility is to be named
2. When the facility to be named is located in a Town park, as is the case with the Bill Mason Carousel
PR D R
When such requests are received from groups or individuals it will be incumbent upon the nominators to show the connection between the individual they wish to honor and the facility to be named. A copy of this policy will be provided to any requesting groups or persons.
