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 BOGC 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 bf 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 />Gommissioner 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 />
