CITY FACILITIES NAMING POLICY
PURPOSE:
To provide guidelines and procedures for naming of City Facilities and Parks.
DEFINITIONS:
City Facilities: Any facility, park or property owned, controlled and/or maintained by the City to conduct City business or City-sponsored activities, including developed areas, undeveloped areas and designated open spaces.
PROCEDURE:
City staff will coordinate the generation of potential names and forward them to the City Manager. The City Manager will provide recommendation(s) regarding the proposed name(s) to the City Council for its consideration and the City Council shall have final approval.
POLICY:
1) Naming shall be of such that it would provide an easy and recognizable reference to the facility and be compatible to the area in which the facility is located.
2) Naming based on a geographic location should reflect the well-known geographic name of the area within which the facility is located, the street adjacent to the facility, or other acceptable identification with the consideration of specific place, neighborhood, subdivision, or well-confirmed cultural or historical significance.
3) Naming based on a person or family should be done only for an individual (or family) that has had a clearly positive and significant impact or contribution to the City, State or Country. (This could include significant donors to the facility or previous property owners). Names should be avoided that would cause undue contention or concern.
4) Naming should take into account the names of other facilities (public or private) so as to not duplicate or utilize a name that could be readily confused by others, particularly emergency response personnel.
