IV. BOARD REPORT
At this time the board members had the opportunity to share any recent involvement they
may have had with the community since the last meeting.
V. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING THE NAMING OF
PUBLIC FACILITIES POLICY
Ms. Smith began by explaining to the board how the naming public facilities policy came
to be published. After a person approached her with wanting to name a facility after them
it was apparent the City needed a policy which would set guidelines for this process. The
document states the criteria in which to follow if one was trying to have a facility named
after them or their company. Ms. Smith and the Board Members reviewed the presented
document as it was the first time the board had seen it. Ms. Smith explained some of the
criteria within the document by giving examples of who or what a facility could be
named after. Ms. Moody inquired more information on the fundraising campaign option
and Ms. Smith explained that in this case one would have more leeway but would still
have criteria to follow. Ms. Smith brought attention to the section of `Renaming a
Facility', pointing out that there are more steps to take to proceed with this option. A
discussion ensued regarding a section in the document stating that a council member
would not have to follow all the criteria of naming a facility. The Board proposed that
this section be removed and commented that all citizens should have to follow all the
same procedures.
Ms. Moody made a motion to table any action on the naming of public facility policy
until the February meeting. Mr. Gibbs second the motion and the motion carried 4 to 0.
VI. DISCUSSION REGARDING DEPARTMENT GOALS
A discussion ensued regarding the department goals and the interest that the Board may
have in helping the department achieve these goals. Mr. Wiltz suggested that the Board
choose one goal for the Board to focus their efforts on for the year as well as help in other
areas as each person chooses. The Board decided to help with the land acquisition of the
department as a whole and will email Ms. Smith with their personal interests within the
next few weeks. Ms. Smith will create and present the board with an action plan for the
land acquisition goal.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
Ms. Wilcoxson made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Ms. Moody seconded the motion
and the motion carried 4 to 0.
