2. AGENDA ITEM #1111-2 PRESENTATION OF NAMING RIGHTS POLICY
(INFORMATION)
Recreation Services Manager, Mick Calarco, provided a presentation of the
draft Naming Rights Policy,
Several questions were asked with respect to the waiting period for requesting
naming rights. The issue was raised as to why requests for naming rights in
memoriam have a one-year waiting period and there is no waiting period for
honorific candidates. In addition, it was asked if an applicant donated money
for naming rights, would the donation be applied to the specific area
requested by the applicant or go into the General Fund. Finally, the question
was raised as to whether or not there was a procedure in place on how the
donated funds are processed. If not, the commission recommends making it
a part of the process.
