Item #17 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF October 7,2003 Honorable Mayor and City Recreation & Parks Commission REPARED BY: Ron Kenny, Community Services Director Amendment to Resolution No. R-1 16A-93 Establishing Policy for the Naming of City Parks, Park Features and Community Facilities DATE: September 29, 2003 BACKGROUND: In 1993 the Colton City Council established, by resolution, basic guidelines and an application process for the naming of City parks, park features and community facilities. A copy of that information is attached. Late last year the Recreation & Parks Commission received an application to rename the Colton Community Center, the Frank A. Gonzales Community Center. During the Commission's application review process it was felt that the current resolution addressing the policy was vague and left several areas to interpretation. Upon completion of the Gonzales application process, staff was requested to place the resolution on the Commission agenda for discussion. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Recreation & Parks Commission discussed the resolution during two regularly scheduled meetings. The Commission then approved a draft of an amended resolution and directed staff to present it to the City Attorney for review. The City Attorney suggested that two items be combined, but otherwise approved the form of the amended language as drafted by the Commission. A "redlined copy of the previous resolution with recommended changes is attached. The Commission voted 7-0 to send their recommendation on to the City Council. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The Recreation and Parks Commission recomrnends that the City Council approve repealing Resolution No. R- I 16A-93 and adopting a Resolution establishing a new city policy for the naming of city parks, park features and community facilities.
