Arlington adopts town-owned facility naming policy after Board retreat discussion
Summary
The Board unanimously adopted Resolution 2025-40 to establish a Town-Owned Facility Naming Policy. Town Administrator Cathy Durant said the policy was discussed at the recent Board retreat and is a "fluid" document that can be amended over time.
The Arlington Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted unanimously on Sept. 2, 2025, to adopt a Town-Owned Facility Naming Policy under Resolution 2025-40.
Town Administrator Cathy Durant told the Board the naming policy had been discussed at the August Board retreat and described it as a fluid document that the Board could amend in the future. Alderman Oscar Brooks moved to approve the resolution; Vice Mayor Harry McKee seconded the motion, and the vote carried without opposition.
Why it matters: A facility-naming policy establishes criteria and procedures for naming town-owned buildings and spaces, which affects future dedications, memorials and recognition requests. The minutes record appreciation from Alderman Brooks for staff work on the draft. No formal amendments or implementation timeline were recorded in the minutes.
The resolution was presented during New Business and approved as a single motion. Supporting documents and the policy text were noted as part of the meeting materials on file at Town Hall.
