Each request for naming or renaming must be submitted using the Naming and Renaming Request Form below, or via a downloadable and printable version. The application will be reviewed for completeness and submitters may be asked for additional information. Once all information has been received, an internal review committee consisting of representatives from the City Manager’s Office, Parks & Recreation Department, Public Works Department, Police Department, and Planning & Zoning Division will review. Feedback and additional questions will be sent to the submitter if necessary. If the internal review committee has no concerns with the request, it will then be provided to the City Council for review and consideration. City staff and City Council reserve the right to involve external parties for specialized review, if deemed necessary. All requests for naming or renaming must meet the guidelines outlined in this policy. The City will consider naming proposals but is under no obligation to accept a proposal.

Refer to Council Procedure Memoranda #13 on naming of public facilities for complete guidelines.

When emailing, please include all attachments that are clearly identified to the same message.
