Policy for
Naming of City Parks
and Recreation Facilities
Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to provide a process whereby City parks and
recreational facilities may be named.
Policy:
When authorized by the City Council, the City Parks and Recreation Advisory
Council shall be charged with the responsibility of making recommendations
for the naming of City parks and recreational facilities. The City Council shall
consider the recommendations of the Advisory Council and make final
determinations.
Procedure:
1. When, in the opinion of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Council, it is
necessary to name or rename a City park or recreation facility, it shall
advise the City Council of its opinion and may suggest a process whereby
a name shall be chosen.
2. The City Council shall review the matter and, if it concurs with the
Advisory Council, shall authorize the Council to proceed. Otherwise the
Council shall give such direction to the Advisory Council as it deems
appropriate.
3. The Advisory Council may conduct public hearings or use contests,
solicitations, historic evidence or any other appropriate means under the
circumstances, and within the direction of the City Council, to generate
ideas and recommendations for a name. Names for parks and facilities
should be appropriate for the facility and the community served. If for a
neighborhood facility, the name should support or help establish a
neighborhood identity. If for a facility serving the entire community, the
name should be appropriate considering the diversity of users. Names
should be such that their meaning and significance to the neighborhood
or the community will remain over time.
4. The Advisory Council shall submit its recommendations to the City
Council for final consideration.
