The Board and County staff have utilized this policy <br />on multiple occasions during the last 19 years for the naming of County buildings and facilities. <br />The policy was revised and approved by the Board of Commissioners on November 9, 2005. <br />This action primarily removed a provision regarding the County Manager making a <br />recommendation to the BOCC regarding potential building and facility names. The revision also <br />addressed the potential naming of rooms or portions of a facility in compliance with the policy: <br />Some questions have recently been raised regarding the policy, and staff is presenting the <br />policy to the Board so that any clarifications can be made and/or issues addressed and to allow <br />the County to move forward with future naming activities. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the review and discussion of <br />the policy. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board review and discuss the <br />Naming of County Owned Buildings and Facilities Policy as revised and approved on November <br />9, 2005, and provide feedback to staff on any new proposed changes. <br />
