REQUEST FOR. CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: 8/7/2017
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Janeen Laudenback, Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2017-25 establishing a policy for the naming of City Parks,
Park Features, and Community Facilities and repealing conflicting resolutions
Statement of Issue:
The Community Services Commission has formulated changes to City Council Resolution No.
2004-90, relative to the naming of parks, park amenities, and facilities, and is seeking approval of
these recommended changes by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
Not applicable
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-25, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing a Policy for the Naming of City Parks, Park Features, and Community Facilities and
Repealing Conflicting Resolutions."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The Community Services Commission Park Naming and Memorials Committee met on February
22, 2017, and on April 5, 2017, to consider naming recognition opportunities for three local parks.
As part of their review of potential locations and various park features for name recognition, the
language in City Council Resolution 2004-90 was referenced. During their discussions, it was
noted that there were some conflicting sections in the resolution language relating to the naming of
park amenities, park features, and facilities.
When the park naming policy Resolution 2004-90 was last modified, the goal was to provide for
more varied opportunities for the naming of parks, park amenities, and facilities. It was believed
that the previous resolution language placed too much emphasis on past mayors, and excluded
others from the discussion of potential naming opportunities. At the time, certain sections of the
resolution were modified, but others remained unedited creating inconsistencies within the
resolution itself.
In addition to the inconsistencies shown in Resolution No. 2004-90, Draft Edits (Attachment 2), the
use of the word "concurrence" in Section 9 of the resolution could potentially create a situation
where the Community Services Commission and City Council do not agree on a naming
Item 10. - I HB -96-
Dept. ID CS 17-018 Page 2 of 2
Meeting Date: 8/7/2017
recommendation. This could result in the inability for City Council to make a final naming decision,
if their final motion is not consistent with the Community Services Commission recommendation.
In addition to the aforementioned corrections to the inconsistencies in the Resolution, at the June
19, 2017, City Council meeting, staff was directed by City Council to include language indicating
that if a park, park feature or other community facility is to receive a name with historical
significance, the City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board would be consulted. Based on
that direction, the Community Services Commission re-visited this issue at their July 12, 2017,
meeting and approved this direction by City Council.
The Community Services Commission is therefore recommending approval of Resolution No. 2017-
25 with the following modifications to Resolution No. 2004-90 in order to correct inconsistencies, to
require Historic Resources Board participation when appropriate, and to reestablish the City Council
final authority with regards to park naming:
1. First Paragraph —Add "and other park amenities" after "park play equipment."
2. Section 1 — Add "and other amenities" at the end of the sentence.
3. Section 5 —Add, as a final sentence, "In addition, other individuals or other names
maybe proposed."
4. Section 6 —Add "that if a park, park feature or other community facility is to be named
based on a finding of historical significance, in addition to review by the Community
Services Commission, the City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board will be
consulted prior to a recommendation from the Community Services Commission to City
Council."
5. Section 10 —Replace the current language with: "That all recommendations for park/pier
memorial naming be processed through the Community Services Commission, which
shall make a recommendation to the City Council for final approval or denial. City
Council retains all authority to name a park, park feature or community facility without
returning to the Community Services Commission."

Analysis: The Park Naming and Memorials Committee met on February 22, 2017 and
on April 5, 2017 to consider naming recognition opportunities. As part of their review of
potential locations and park features for name recognition, the language in City Council
Resolution 2004-90 was referenced. During their discussions, it was noted that there
were some conflicting sections in the resolution language relating to the naming of park
amenities and facilities.
When the park naming policy resolution was last modified (2004), the goal was to
provide more opportunities for parks, park amenities and facilities. It was felt that the
previous language placed too much emphasis on past mayor for naming opportunities.
As such, certain sections of the resolution were modified but, others remained unedited
which has creating inconsistencies. Additionally, the use of the word "concurrence" in
Section 9 of the resolution could create a stalemate of sorts if Commission and Council
didn't agree on a naming recommendation. The language was therefore modified to
align with the process utilized by all recommendations from the Commission to City
Council. Should Commission approve of the modifications, staff will work with the City
Attorney's office to prepare an updated resolution for Council approval.

SUBMITTED BY: JANEEN LAUDENBACK, COMMUNITY SERVICES DIRECTOR
PREPARED BY: DAVID C. DOMINGUEZ, FACILITIES, DEVELOPMENT AND
CONCESSIONS MANAGER
SUBJECT: PARK NAMING RESOLUTION UPDATE
Statement of Issue: There is a need for the Community Services Commission to
review and approve changes to Resolution No. 2017-25 as recommended by City
Council.
Funding Source: N\A
Recommended Action(s): Approve the modifications as recommended by City
Council and the City Attorney's Office with the following changes:
1. Revise opening paragraph to read: "WHEARAS, it is desirable that appropriate
names be chosen when naming City parks, park features and community
facilities which in some instances recognizes donations of furniture and/or park
play equipment and other amenities, and that a policy be adopted by the City
Council to accomplish this purpose". And-,
2. Revise Section 1 to read: "That the policies contained in the Resolution shall be
instituted for the naming of the City's parks, park features and community
facilities, and in some cases will recognize donations of furniture and park/play
equipment and other amenities". And-,
3. Include language in Section 6 to read: "That if a park, park feature or other

addition to review by the Community Services Commission, the City of
G_2-1
Item 10. - 11 HB -106-
Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board will be consulted prior to a
recommendation from the Community Services Commission to City Council".
Analysis:
On June 19, 2017 the Community Services Commission approved changes to
Resolution No. 2004-90 as recommended by the Park Naming and Memorials
Committee. Commission in turn sent the recommended revisions as Resolution No.
2017-25 to the City Council for review. Council reviewed the revisions at the June 19,
2017 meeting and concurred with the recommended changes. Council however, felt
there was a need to include the assistance of the Historic Resources Board (HRB) in
cases where park naming is based upon historical significance. The Council moved to
have the Community Services Commission approve adding language to the resolution
that would include review by the Historic Resources Board.
In the past, the Park Naming and Memorials Committee (PNMC) have requested the
assistance of the HRB. The HRB is also currently assisting with the naming of the
former Rodgers Seniors' Center site at 17th Street and Orange Avenue. Their research
on the history of the site will assist the PNMC in forming a naming recommendation for
the site for Commission and Council approval.
Staff worked with the City Attorney's office to draft language based upon Council
direction. As indicated in the Recommended Action 3, the following language was
added to Resolution No. 2017-25:
"That if a park, park feature or other community facility is to be named based on a
finding of historical significance, in addition to review by the Community Services
Commission, the City of Huntington Beach Historic Resources Board will be consulted
prior to a recommendation from the Community Services Commission to City Council".
As part of their review, the City Attorney's office also made minor language revisions to
the opening paragraph and in Sections 1 and 4 of the Resolution. These changes are
identified in the Recommended Action, numbers 1 and 2.
