(1) Parks or other facilities named by deed restriction will not be considered for renaming.
(2) (a) Parks and facilities named after individuals will not be changed unless it is found that the individual's personal character is or was such that the continued use of the name for a facility would not be in the best interest of the community.
(b) Exceptions may be granted for changes in use of facilities or for facility demolitions.
(B) If it is decided that it is in the best interest of the city to rename a major or sub-facility, it must be renamed in accordance with the criteria and guidelines outlined in the procedures of this policy.
