Council Discusses Updates to the Town's Naming and Recognition and Public Art Policies

At its July 14 meeting, the City Council discussed staff's proposed changes to the Town's Naming and Recognition and Public Art Policies. The Naming and Recognition Policy addresses the naming or renaming of structures, parks, trails, and other Town-owned facilities. The current policy gives guidelines for the naming of a facility to recognize a contribution. However, staff requested more direction regarding the following points:

• Clarity regarding acceptance and recognition of small donations made that are not associated with the naming of a facility;
• Alignment with or support for current fundraising methods implemented by non-profits to solicit funds on behalf of the Town;
• Recognizing an individual or significant services; and 
• Detail in defining the process for naming and renaming facilities. 

Staff also shared possible changes to the current Public Art Policy to reflect what is currently being done to recognize donations made to non-profits like the Addison Arbor Foundation.

Council will consider adoption of the proposed changes at a future Council meeting. You can watch the Council's policy discussion here and read the presentation here.
