CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO To: Mayor Lioneld Jordan and City Council Thru: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Connie Edmonston, Director of Parks and Recreation From: Alison Jumper, Park Planning Superintendent Date: May 27, 2010 Subject: Code of Ordinances Amendment for Chapter 96: Parks and Recreation PROPOSAL: As the City of Fayetteville grows, the need for diverse recreational opportunities grows. Seeking partnerships and donations from private organizations and businesses can enhance the City's ability to provide parks and recreation services for park improvement projects. Private partnerships with businesses and individuals offering services and products consistent with the Parks and Recreation mission have the potential to reduce the City's investment in capital projects. Park staff has recently recognized the need for an avenue allowing donor recognition signs on park and trail property. Donor recognition is vital to successfully soliciting and securing funding for projects. The use of corporate names and logos are often used in recognizing contributions; however, these types of signs are not currently permissible by city ordinance. Chapter 97 of the Unified Development Code(§97.088(B)) allows for signs on softball/baseball fences and scoreboards at locations and in sizes designated by the Parks and Recreation Director. Park staff proposes amending Chapter 97 to allow for donor recognition signs on park and trail property, thereby improving the ability to successfully secure funding from private sources. RECOMMENDATION: Parks Staff recommends approving and ordinance amending the Fayetteville Code of Ordinances Chapter 96: Parks and Recreation, Section 970.88 Signs Prohibited to permit donor recognition signs to be located in parks and trails. BUDGET IMPACT: This ordinance amendment would not impact the budget negatively. If approved, the potential for securing donations may increase,thereby positively impacting the budget.

Any facility to be named for a donor, volunteer or public servant would first have to be recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and then approved by City Council resolution.

This policy statement takes precedence over any previous policies and guidelines which may have governed the naming of these facilities. POLICY Upon acquisition of a new park, the Director of Parks and Recreation will assign a nondescript temporary working name or subdivision name for the park facility to be used until park development begins. Once park development begins, the Parks and Recreation Division will receive and forward park facility name suggestions to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for review. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will discuss the recommendations at their monthly meeting and will leave the issue on the table until the next scheduled meeting. This one month duration will allow time for any public comment on the proposed names. Once a recommended name has been selected, the Parks and Recreation Staff will forward the name to the City Council for review and approval. The following items should be considered when proposing names for any park facilities: • Geographic location of the facility • Outstanding features of the facility • Commonly recognized historical event, group, or individual • Individual or group who contributed significantly to the acquisition or development of a facility • Individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest of the park system For an individual to be considered, the recommended name must be accompanied by a biographical sketch which provides evidence of historical significance or contributions to the Parks and Recreation Division or City of Fayetteville. Generally, the naming of park facilities in recognition of an individual will not be considered unless received posthumously. The naming of plaques, markers, and memorials within park facilities must follow the policies as stated above. Note: A name recommendation from the Sidewalk & Trails Committee for trail facilities will be required prior to forwarding to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
