<br />bridge be named the “Whilamut Passage Bridge.” At the committee’s request and after a month-long <br />public comment period, a dedicated public hearing was held on July 27 and the council formally <br />supported the recommendation at its August 9, 2010, meeting. <br /> <br />Although this process deviated slightly from the one outlined in the policy, a general application of the <br />proposed procedures resulted in a smooth process with good public participation and the timely <br />identification/analysis of any potential financial implications. <br /> <br />With the adoption of this policy, there will be a single official policy anticipating and encompassing <br />most types of naming requests and situations. Existing policies, such as those for naming new streets <br />recognizing monetary gifts in support of City amenities are referenced in the proposed policy and will <br />continue to be followed. <br /> <br />Following adoption of the naming policy, staff will work with the executive and division managers to <br />integrate the processes and procedures set forth in the document into construction plans, timelines and <br />public outreach initiatives. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br /> <br />The establishment of a City naming policy relates to the City Council goal of Effective, Accountable <br />Municipal Government, a government that works openly, collaboratively, and fairly with the community <br />to achieve measurable and positive outcomes and provide effective, efficient services. <br /> <br /> <br />OPTIONS <br /> <br />The City Council has several options with regard to the proposed naming policy: <br />1. Adopt the naming policy and procedures as proposed. <br />2. Further amend the naming policies and procedures. <br />3. Direct staff to return with additional information. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Manager recommends that the council adopt the proposed naming policy. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />Move to adopt the City of Eugene Naming Policy. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />A.
