Included as an attachment is a draft policy that aims to create a process for future park naming. By having a policy, this creates a consistent approach in developing unique, meaningful, and inclusive naming that allows for collaboration from stakeholders. Staff is requesting that the Parks and Trails Commission review the attached draft of the Park Naming Policy to provide feedback and direction. The policy is intended to be brought back to the Commission during a future meeting with updates from Commissioners reflected. Following approval from the Parks and Trails Commission, the policy would proceed to the City Council for review and decision. Attachments 8a1. Park Naming Policy 8a. Park Naming Policy 8a1. Purpose The purpose of this policy is to create a consistent and systematic approach, for the naming and renaming of parks, recreation areas, and facilities owned and/or operated by the City of Corcoran. Names are intended to be unique, meaningful, and inclusive. Objectives •Easily identifies and locates parks, recreation areas, and facilities. •Names designated for parks, recreation areas, and facilities should be consistent with the values and character of the area, neighborhood, and City of Corcoran. •Encourages public participation in the naming and dedication of parks, recreation areas, and facilities. •Encourages the dedication of lands, facilities, donations, or sponsorship by individuals and/or groups. Definition Parks, recreation areas, and facilities include all property assets under the City’s ownership and under the Parks and Recreation Division oversight. This includes buildings, structures, open spaces, public parks, trails, natural areas, wetlands, environmental habitat, and land. Small park amenities such as benches, bricks, etc. will be considered for naming through the Park Enhancement Program. Authorization The Parks and Trails Commission shall be responsible for recommending facility names to the City Council for final approval. The City Council may accept, reject, or replace recommended facility names. Guidelines The following guidelines will be used when naming a park, recreation area, or facility within a park. The City Council and/or Parks and Trails Commission have discretion when evaluating proposals, thus proposals that meet the below guidelines do not guarantee naming. General Naming Guidelines •Should not duplicate or be easily confused with existing public or private places in or near Corcoran. •Should avoid adjectives such as east, west, big, long, etc., and numbers when possible unless an adjacent feature name uses the same descriptor. •Should use the fewest words possible. •Shall include an appropriate designator of the type of park (i.e., Community Park, Neighborhood Park, Open Space Park, etc.). •A name may be assigned, if deemed appropriate by the City Council (following recommendation from the Parks and Trails Commission) to a park or recreation facility, any time after land acquisition or park/facility development. Such recreation facilities may include trails/greenways, recreation buildings, athletic complexes, picnic shelters, playgrounds, splashpads, or other facilities. •Naming approved for an item that has a lifespan, such as structures, equipment, etc., shall expire when the lifespan of the item is met. At the time of replacing such an item, the Park Naming Policy original donor/naming recipient shall have the opportunity to donate funds to continue the naming of the replacement item. If the original donor/naming recipient is not interested in continuing the naming of the item, or is unable to be reached within a reasonable timeframe for replacement, the City may seek other donations for naming consideration. Naming in Honor of a Person •Consideration shall only be given to individuals who have been deceased for a minimum of six months and one or more of the following criteria has been met: o The individual, individuals or family has contributed significant long-term support to the development or operation of the park or facility, or to the overall recreation and parks system. The suggested name must be accompanied by evidence of contributions to the park, facility, and/or service, or to any of the Parks and Recreation Division’s companion organizations that function in cooperation with and on behalf of the department. o An outstanding community individual who has made significant and long-term civic contributions to the community of Corcoran, as determined by either the Parks and Trails Commission or the Corcoran City Council. o A substantial donation (typically not less than 50% of the value of the property or improvements), as determined by either the Parks and Trails Commission or the Corcoran City Council, has been made to the Parks and Recreation Division, by or in memory of an individual, group, or family. •Consideration to name parks, recreation areas, and facilities after those who are still living, must meet one, or more, of the following: o A land donation in which a naming provision has been made on the deed and accepted by the Corcoran City Council. o A substantial donation of money (typically not less than 50% of the value of the property or improvements) has been made to the Corcoran Parks and Recreation Division wherein the donor stipulated a naming provision as a condition of the donation and this condition has been accepted by the Corcoran City Council. Process Naming of New/Un-Named Parks, Recreation Areas, and Facilities 1. Request to Staff A request for naming/re-naming of a park, recreation area, or facilities shall be submitted in writing to the Parks and Recreation Division. 2. Staff Review of Submission The submission shall show how the proposed name meets the criteria stated within this policy. When naming after person(s), the application will describe their contributions to the City of Corcoran. Written documentation of approval by next of kin to be honored (if available/possible) is required as part of the proposal. Staff will review the proposal for adherence to the stated criteria and authentication of statements relative to contributions in the case of an individual before forwarding it to the Parks and Trails Commission. If the request is incomplete, staff will contact the applicant, in writing, and provide them with the opportunity to resubmit a revised request. Park Naming Policy 3. Public Input Opportunity & Parks and Trails Commission Review The Parks and Trails Commission will offer the opportunity for public input on the proposed naming during a regularly scheduled Commission meeting. During this meeting, the Parks and Trails Commission will make a recommendation on the proposed naming. 4. Absence of Naming Requests In the absence of any naming requests, the Parks and Trails Commission shall adhere to the criteria stated in this policy in recommendation of a name. 5. City Council Review Once the Parks and Trails Commission has reviewed the proposed name, Corcoran City Council will make the final decision using input and recommendation from staff, public input, and the Parks and Trails Commission. Re-naming of Existing Parks, Recreation Areas, and Facilities •Renaming of parks, recreation areas, and facilities carries a greater burden of process compared to initial naming. Tradition and continuity of name and community identification are important community values. Proposals must meet criteria in this policy, however, meeting all criteria does not ensure renaming. •Deed restrictions need to be accounted for when considering the renaming of parks. •Parks, facilities, and geographic features named after individuals shall not be changed unless it is found by the Parks and Trails Commission or the Corcoran City Council that the individual’s personal character was such that the continued use of the name for a City park, recreation area, or facility would not be in the best interest of the City. •Parks, recreation areas, and facilities named for a location or geographic feature of a community/neighborhood may be considered for renaming. However, the existing name of a park, recreation area, or facility which is of local or national importance, or which identifies an outstanding geographic or physical feature shall not be changed unless the Parks and Trails Commission or Corcoran City Council determines there are extraordinary circumstances of local, state, or national interest to justify the name change. •When considering the renaming of a park, recreation area, or facility, the proposed name must meet the same guidelines and follow the naming process defined above. Naming of Amenities within Parks, Recreation Areas, and Facilities •Amenities and equipment with a lifespan of at least 15 years, such as a playground, splashpad, field, etc., may be eligible for naming. •When considering the naming of amenities within parks, recreation areas, or facilities, the proposed name must meet the same guidelines and follow the naming process defined above.

In discussions among staff, the idea of a Bark in the Park event at City Park was considered. The event would aim to bring together dog owners, their dogs, and local dog servicing organizations for fun and engagement. The event would allow the opportunity to educate the public on park rules related to dogs and gather feedback from community members regarding park accommodations or needs. At this time, no work has been done on the proposed event and a date has not been determined. Staff was looking at July or August of 2024 to host the event at City Park, with consideration of other events happening simultaneously. Additionally, staff would reach out to other cities that host similar events to better understand their planning process, successes, and areas of improvement. Staff is requesting that the Parks and Trails Commission consider a recommendation to City Council regarding the addition of a Bark in the Park event. If approved, staff would work with local vendors that serve the animal community to request they attend. Attachments None 8b. Page 1 of 4 STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 8c.
