PARK NAMING POLICY <br />CITY OF HUGO <br />1. Parks may be named for the deceased after 50 years have elapsed from the time of <br />death. The deceased may include local or national heroes and national, state, or local <br />officials. <br />2. Parks may be named for streets, neighborhoods, historical events and characters, <br />trees, flowers, places, mythological and descriptive names. These names should be <br />indigenous to the City of Hugo. <br />3. New parks should not be named for civic organizations in order to avoid community <br />conflicts. Existing park names are grandfathered in. <br />4. Park or facility names should not be changed without good cause. They should be <br />named carefully and with permanent intent. No park or park facility can be renamed <br />without the consent of the Parks Commission. <br />5. The criteria should be reviewed from time to time, and if necessary, periodically <br />revised to offer the Parks Commission a practical, up-to-date and helpful tool through <br />which practical decisions may be reached and by which difficult situations may be <br />amicably reconciled. The Parks Commission will name all City -owned parks in <br />Hugo. <br />6. Parks or facilities may be named in recognition of a grant of funds which <br />significantly improves a park by a non-profit, as determined by the Parks <br />Commission. (Policy addition approved by the City Council October 19, 2009) <br />
