A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
r OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ESTABLISHING ITS POLICY
FOR THE NAMING OF CITY PARKS, PARK FEATURES AND
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND REPEALING CONFLICTING RESOLUTIONS
WHEREAS, the city has established a vigorous program to provide suitable park and
recreation areas for its residents; and,
It is desirable that appropriate names be selected for the city's parks and that a policy
be adopted by the City Council to accomplish this purpose.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach that the following policy shall be instituted for the naming of the city's parks, park
features and community facilities:
1. That parks adjacent to schools be named the same as the school.
2. If an entire park or sizable portion of a park which is not adjacent to a school is
donated by an individual or family, it shall be named after the donor.
3. If the park is neither adjacent to a school nor donated, all or in part, it shall be
named after Huntington Beach mayors, no longer members of the City Council. Priority shall
be given to those oldest who are still living.
4. That after all the mayors' names have been affixed to designated parks and
additional parks are purchased by the city, parks shall be named after city Councilmembers
who did not attain the office of mayor. Priority shall be given to those oldest who are still living.
5. If enough parks do not exist to exhaust the list of names of past Huntington
Beach mayors, then park features of Huntington Central Park and other community facilities
such as lakes, structures (other than restrooms), groves of trees, walkways, playing fields,
group camp and picnic sites, gardens, play equipment areas, meadows, amphitheaters, vistas,
bridges and wildlife refuges shall be named after such mayors to honor them for their service
to the city. In addition, other individuals' names may be proposed in this category. Individuals
would be considered when their unique contributions have had a citywide impact, are marked
by excellence and are worthy of honor.
6. Only one park, park feature or community facility shall be named for an
individual.
7. All recommendations for park/memorial naming shall have the concurrence of
the Community Services Commission and the City Council.
8. All other resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
