ATTACHMENTS A.StreetNamingPolicy(includingrelevantcodeprovisions) B.LibraryNamingPolicy C.ParksandOpenSpaceNamingPolicy D.ApplicationforNaming/RenamingFacilities APPENDIX A Suggested Road Naming Guidelines Lane County, Oregon Recently, many new road names became problematic for address and road name users. Developers have proposed road names that are identical or too similar to existing road names in Lane County. There have also been problems with road names containing road types, alpha/numeric, etc. This results in difficulties for many public agencies, private companies, the U.S. Postal Service, E9-1-1, residents, and the public at large. Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) facilitated a meeting with local governments and the U.S. Postal Service to create guidelines to accommodate the needs of Planners, Addressing, Public Safety, and U.S. Postal Service staff when reviewing new road names and proposed road name changes. The guidelines apply to both public and private road names. Generally, each jurisdiction involved in reviewing subdivision plats and proposed road name changes already has an existing review process. In addition to these existing review processes, it was concluded that it would be beneficial to have the U.S. Postal Service, E9-1-1, and LCOG review proposed road names. In an effort to reduce the amount of paper involved with this additional step, correspondence will be sent via e-mail. An e-mail group list has been created and can be found on the RIS network as *LCOG Roadnames. Another benefit of the group list is that it may help prohibit identical or too similar road names from being approved by two different entities simultaneously. Those who send proposed road names to the e-mail group list should give reply deadlines. Recipients should reply that the proposed road name is acceptable or unacceptable before the deadline. Guidelines: These guidelines do not conflict with any existing regulations within Lane County. Road names can be checked by using www.rlid.org. This site contains all road names within Lane County where building permits have been issued. Do not accept: * Road names without a valid road type; Road names with post-directionals (ex: Woodlake Way South); Road names with pre-directionals contained within the road name field (instead of in the pre-direction field). Pre-directionals that are attached to another word in the road name (no space between words) are acceptable (ex: South Ridge Dr is not acceptable, Southridge Dr acceptable); Road names with punctuation (ex: St. Ives Pl, Be-ell Pl, or Hooton’s Corners Rd); Road names with potentially confusing foreign names (ex: Soufreiere Ct); Road names that are alpha/numeric (ex: Bonners Lane 1); Road names that sound like existing road names (ex: Cortland/Portland); Road names that contain more than 20 characters (ex: Goodpasture Lakes Loop Rd); * Road names that contain a road type within the road name (ex: Woodway Pl); Road names that contain a sound-alike of a road type within the road name (ex: Brenelain Ave);* Page 1 of 2 Do not accept (cont’d) Road names that are identical to an existing mailing or incorporated city; Road names that are in general confusing, or have unusual spellings (ex: Acres on Taylor Ave or Hodsdonsdale Ln); Road names that contain abbreviated MT (mount/mountain) or ST (saint) without another word following (ex: Shasta MT Rd not acceptable, MT Shasta Rd is acceptable). There will be no punctuation but it must contain a valid road type; Road names with TRL as a road type. “Trail” in the road name is acceptable with a valid road type (ex: Deer TRL not acceptable, Deer Trail Rd is acceptable). Proposed road names that already exist in Lane County will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Because the Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) is maintained at a county-wide level, it would be less confusing to avoid duplication of road names in Lane County. Additional guidelines: Naming cul-de-sacs: A new road name is preferable For short cul-de-sacs which can be addressed between the lowest and highest addresses of the “root” road where it connects with the cul-de-sac, it is acceptable to use the same road name and type as the root road. Do not use a different road type. (ex: a cul-de-sac off of Teralee Ln should be named either Teralee Ln or an entirely different road name) If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please contact Carolyn Housdorf at (541) 682-6437 or chousdorf@lcog.org. *Valid road types are: Aly, Ave, Blvd, Cir, Ct, Dr, Hall, Hwy, Ln, Lp, Pike, Pkwy, Pl, Rd, St, Ter, and Way. Page 2 of 2 RelevantCodeSections Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other Public Ways 9.6855 Street Names. Wherever practical, streets that are in alignment with existing named streets shall bear the names of such existing streets. Names for streets that are not in alignment with existing streets are subject to approval by the planning director and shall not unnecessarily duplicate or resemble the name of any existing or platted street in Lane County. (Section 9.6855, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) **************************************** Street Name Change 9.8475Purpose of Street Name Changes. Requests to rename an existing street may be generated by a variety of circumstances. In many cases, there are other existing streets in the city that have similar sounding names resulting in confusion for the postal service, emergency response services and the general public. Applications to rename a street are subject to state law that requires the planning commission to review the request and make a recommendation to the city council for final action. (Section 9.8475, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) 9.8480Applicability. Any existing street or highway, other than a county or state road or highway, may be renamed by the city council provided it is within six miles of the limits of the city and within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary. Street name changes are subject to the Type IV procedural requirements beginning at EC 9.7400. (Section 9.8480, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) 9.8485Street Name Change Approval Criteria. The planning commission shall recommend, and the city council shall approve an application for a street name change upon determining that a proposed renaming is in the best interest of the city. (Section 9.8485, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.) 9.8490General Requirements. The city council by ordinance shall rename a street or highway in accordance with the recommendation of the planning commission, or by resolution shall reject the recommendation. A certified copy of the ordinance shall be filed for record with the county clerk or recorder, and a like copy shall be filed with the county assessor and county surveyor. The county surveyor shall enter the new names of the streets and roads as required by state law. (Section 9.8490, see chart at front of Chapter 9 for legislative history from 2/26/01 through 6/1/02.)

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE The Parks and Open Space Division shall oversee the naming of park lands and features within the Eugene parks and open space system, with the exception of certain large buildings such as community centers and aquatic facilities. To ensure fair and consistent application of naming, all park lands and features requiring naming, or for which formal naming is requested, shall be evaluated and processed in accordance with these guidelines. Approved naming or renaming shall not constitute an obligation to provide a sign or other indication of the name. 2.JURISDICTION The establishment of formal legal names of permanent real property owned by the City of Eugene, including parks, requires legislative action and cannot be accomplished through administrative action. Only the Eugene City Council retains the authority to carry out legislative action to establish legal names. Features or distinct areas within parks, however, such as picnic structures or gardens, can be named through administrative action. 3. COMMON NAME VS. LEGAL NAME For operational and public identification purposes, the Parks and Open Space Division frequently refers to park property by a particular name which has not been legally defined or assigned by the City Council. Such names are called “common” or “use” names. In many cases, common names are used for long periods of time, and subsequently appear in documents and printed materials. Names may only achieve a legal standing by one of two means: 1.Eugene City Council resolution adopting the name 2.Eugene City Council adoption of a plan or document in which the common or use name is clearly used to identify the property or facility 4. NEW PROPERTY AND FEATURES As new property is acquired and new features are constructed, the City of Eugene Parks and Open Space Division typically establishes a name based on one or more of the source criteria listed below. Similarly, the Division may establish a name for existing parks property or features which have not been named. Adjacent Street - Names referencing an adjacent street. Geography – Names referencing geographical characteristics of an area near the park or facility, with consideration being given to archeological, geological, topographical, botanical, zoological, or human-made geographical characteristics. Geographical names shall reference features expressing timeless qualities likely to maintain name appropriateness over time. History - Names referencing a historic person, place, culture, or event associated with the land or facility. Subdivision/Neighborhood - Names referencing the surrounding neighborhood or subdivision comprising a significant portion of the park service area. Page - 1 - Donation Guidelines City of Eugene Parks and Open Space 5. RECOGNITION NAMING Naming park land or features in recognition of a person, group or entity shall be considered based on the following criteria: Donor- Names referencing a donor, or a name suggested by a donor, may be considered in exchange for significant contributions. Naming of land, where the land itself is donated, may be considered where the appraised value of the donated land is $500,000 or greater, and where the donated land represents at least 51% of the area of a particular park. Naming of donated features constructed using donated funds, may be considered for donations of 51% of the feature construction or acquisition cost, or $100,000, whichever is greater. Long-term gifts and endowments are encouraged and may also be considered for naming opportunities. Honoring a Living Person - Park land and features may be named to honor a living person whose gift or service to the community is of a most extraordinary nature. Honoring a Deceased Person – Park lands and features may be named to honor a deceased person to recognize an extraordinary service or gift to the community. Requests for naming in honor of a deceased person shall be considered after 2 years from the date of death. Group Recognition - Park lands and features may be named to recognize an organization or group for extraordinary gifts or service to the community. 6. RENAMING PROCEDURES In order to respect past community values, a commonly- or legally-named park or feature shall not be renamed in its entirety under most circumstances. The following procedures describe the process for renaming park lands and features in a variety of circumstances: Renaming Through Public Process During public discussions within a park or open space resources plan update process, a general consensus may be reached to rename park land or features to better reflect current community values or the area’s special characteristics, or for similar reasons deemed significant by participating members of the community. Public discussions of naming shall be directed to address the criteria outlined herein. Legal change of the name for a park does not occur unless or until formally adopted by the City of Eugene Council. Name change for a feature or area within a park will take place when the plan is adopted by administrative order. (continued next page) Page - 2 - Donation Guidelines City of Eugene Parks and Open Space Renaming Features Outside of Public Process Requests for renaming outside of a public process may originate from members of the community, organizations, or elsewhere. An official written request for renaming must be sent to the Parks & Open Space Division containing the following information: Description of feature to be renamed The proposed name Concise description of reason(s) for the name change A description of how the renaming request meets the criteria contained within this policy If the proposed name recognizes a living or deceased person, the proposal must also contain the following: Compelling evidence of the extraordinary contribution of the individual to the community Date of the death, if applicable Explanation of how renaming a park or feature would improve community awareness and historical perspective Renaming a Park Outside of Public Process Typically such requests will need the individual support of the Mayor or a City Councilor in order for staff to be instructed by the City Council process the request. Such requests will generally need the same types of information as indicated above for renaming a feature. 7. NAMING APPROVAL PROCEDURES All naming requests and proposals shall be reviewed by the Parks and Open Space Division. Requests shall be reviewed by Parks and Open Space Division staff, who shall forward a recommendation to the Director, who may elect to accept or reject the request. The Director may elect to forward the naming request to the Eugene City Council for action if the request is judged to have a high level of controversy, or to change names with prior legal standing. The Director may decline to forward the request to the Eugene City Council for naming of subordinate areas or features within a park. On receipt of a request from the City Council to consider renaming a park, staff will evaluate the information provided and return a recommendation to the City Council regarding the request. The Council would then make the decision. Page - 3 - City of Eugene Application for Naming Facilities The naming of facilities follows City of Eugene policy.

The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: A. There are many components that contribute to good health, including the ability to respond to sickness, disease and injury. B. Maintaining the goal of living a healthy life is impossible without the ability to access health care. C. The cost of health care is creating difficulties for government, businesses, and individuals. D. A publicly funded universal health care system could help businesses and government employers by reducing overall costs for employers that currently provide employee health insurance, and help individuals by disconnecting health care from employment. E. The access to healthcare by all members of a community greatly reduces the risk of contagious diseases, significantly reduces absenteeism for businesses, while simultaneously increasing the quality of life for the whole community. F. Oregon Revised Statute 414.018(1) states “It is the intention of the Legislative Assembly to achieve the goals of universal access to an adequate level of high quality health care at an affordable cost.” G. HB 2828, signed into Oregon law in 2015, provided funds for a comparative study of health care financing systems, the results of which will be reported to the 2017 Legislative Assembly, and the first criteria to determine the best system is one that “Provides universal access to comprehensive care at the appropriate time.” NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows: Section 1 . The Eugene City Council urges the Oregon Legislature, in the 2017 session, to create a transparent public process to design a healthcare system that provides timely access to comprehensive health care for all Oregon residents with equitable access, ensures choice of providers, has effective cost controls, and has a focus on preventative care. The process should begin with information and recommendations from the study authorized by HB 2828 from the 2015 legislative session, which investigated the financing system to best meet the criteria Resolution - Page 1 of 2 described in chapter 712, Oregon Laws 2013. The proposed system should be affordable for families, businesses, and society, and should be enacted or referred to the voters in a timely manner. Section 2 . The City Manager is directed to send a copy of this resolution as soon as possible to the local state legislative delegation and appropriate legislative committees. Section 3 . This Resolution is effective immediately upon its passage by the City Council. The foregoing Resolution adopted the ____ day of April, 2017. ________________________ City Recorder Resolution - Page 2 of 2
