Council adopts formal naming-application form with amendment allowing future reconsideration
Summary
Councilors approved a resolution creating a formal application for naming city parks, buildings and facilities and added an amendment reserving the city's right to reconsider or revoke a naming if new information emerges.
The council considered a committee report recommending adoption of a formal application form to request naming or dedication of city-owned parks, buildings and facilities.
Councilor Scrammuda explained the resolution would standardize requests and that the form had been reviewed by legal and the city manager’s office. Councilor Guido moved to amend the draft by adding paragraph 5 to reserve the city’s right to reconsider or rescind a naming if relevant information is later disclosed. The amendment was seconded, carried by voice vote, and the committee report as amended was adopted.
Councilors said the formalized process should help ensure consistent review and provide the public with a clear route to request dedications.
