Procedures <br /> 2.3. A public building/facility under construction/renovation or land purchased for park <br /> development or conservation/preservation shall be given a "working title" by staff for <br /> easy identification of the property. <br /> 2.4. The proposed naming of a public building, facility or land may be generated in the <br /> following manner. <br /> a. Staff shall recommend to the BOCC an official title of the public building, facility or <br /> land in accordance with Section 2.1.6 of this policy. Such recommended by staff will <br /> be made prior to the completion of any project to construct, renovate or develop the <br /> property. <br /> b. Any person, firm or association may propose a name for a County owned building, <br /> facility or land by submitting the proposal in writing to the County Manager or Clerk to <br /> the Board. <br /> c. Under certain circumstances the BOCC may wish to set in place a public process <br /> for soliciting input in the official naming of a public building, facility or land. <br /> 2.5. The County Manager shall prepare a report with recommendations for the proposed <br /> naming of the public building, facility or land and present it to the BOCC for <br /> consideration at a regularly scheduled public meeting. <br /> 2.6. Upon receipt of the report and the recommendations of the manager the BOCC will <br /> state its intent to consider the adoption of a resolution for the naming or renaming of <br /> the public building, facility or land at the next or some subsequent meeting as <br /> determined by the BOCC. <br /> 2.7. The Board may determine the public building, facility or land is of significant public <br /> interest and direct a notice be published informing the public of the Board's intent to <br /> consider the naming or renaming of the public building, facility or land and fix a time <br /> and place for a public hearing on the question. <br /> 2.8. Upon approval of the resolution by the BOCC, the public building, facility or land shall <br /> bear the name assigned to it from and after the date of Board action or such <br /> subsequent date as the BOCC may prescribe. <br /> Commissioner Hemminger said that there should be guidelines about naming a building <br /> for a living person. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said that on 2.4b, under Procedures, it should be added that all <br /> recommendations would be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that 2.1.9 should be "non-permanent." Also, she thinks that <br /> 2.2.4 does not need to be in there and Chair Foushee suggested leaving it in. <br /> Chair Foushee said that it prohibits a future Board from undoing a memorial name <br /> given to a building from a previous Board of County Commissioners. <br />
