RE: Commemorative Naming Program

WHEREAS the City’s current Commemorative Naming procedures involve a formal Committee and public meeting process supported by the Clerk’s Office, with plaques provided by Parks and Recreation; and

WHEREAS Councillors are always involved in the Commemorative Naming process and conduct public meetings in their wards on a regular basis; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, effective January 1, 2009, the City’s formal, Clerk’s-supported, Commemorative Naming process be devolved to ward councillors, with the Clerk’s office continuing to support the preparation of any required Standing Committee report; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk’s office be directed to revise the Commemorative Naming Policy to reflect this change, and bring it to Committee and Council by the First Quarter in 2009.
