SMITH, City Clerk Treasurer � RY, / TpF oly L . — ;FAYETiEVILLC;^_ Exhibit "A" DONOR RECOGNITION SIGNS PURPOSE The purpose of this directive is to provide policies which will govern the naming of park facilities currently owned or acquired by the City of Fayetteville. This policy statement takes precedence over any previous policies and guidelines which may have governed the naming of these facilities. POLICY In order to provide important capital facilities in Fayetteville Parks, it is pragmatic in a time of shrinking public dollars to seek outside funding.

This policy sets guidelines for donations within parks as well as on trails. All sign and plaque designs must be incorporated into the design of the facility. Donor recognition signs shall adhere to the aesthetic values and design of the park. Donor recognition in parks is based upon the type of facility donated. Donor recognition on trails is limited on the trailheads unless there is an educational and/or art feature that is appropriate to be displayed along the trail. Recognition signs may not be predominant within the educational and/or art component. Recognition for each donation will be determined pursuant to the Recognition for Parks and Trails Facilities Policy. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by City Council. Park Planners have the latitude to design signs recognizing donations based on site location and donor specific criteria. Naming of facilities donated must meet the Naming Park Facilities Operational Policy unless accepted under City Council resolution. The naming proposal will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for their recommendation to City Council. City Council has final approval of the park facility name, including the right to approve a different name.
