CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO
NAMING OF CITY PARKS~ FACILITIES AND AMENITIES POLICY
PURPOSE:
To establish guidelines and a uniform policy for naming, or amending the name of, City owned
property, and property dedicated to the City for public purposes, subject to approval of the
Mayor and Common Council. This policy shall apply to City owned parks, facilities, or
amenities, or other recreational facilities, hereby referred to as "facility or facilities". The intent
of this policy is to provide an exclusive process by which naming public facilities will be
adhered to.
DEFINITION OF TERMS:
Facility classifications in order of significance:
Park - an officially recognized parcel of land dedicated to the City or owned and
managed by the City and used for public recreation purposes.
Public Facility - a City owned structure within a park used for public recreation
purposes. Examples include, but are not limited to: community centers, aquatic centers,
or amphitheaters.
Amenity - a smaller, support facility that is located within a City owned building or park
or is part of a City recreation facility. Examples include but are not limited to: picnic
pavilions, ball fields, playgrounds, monuments, walkways, or gardens.
POLICY:
1. Recommendations may be submitted by community groups, individuals, City staff or Elected
Officials by submitting a Nomination Form (Attachment A) to the City Manager's Office.
2. Recommendations shall be submitted in writing, and shall be given equal consideration
without regard to the source of the nomination.
3. To show substantial community support, the recommendation shall be accompanied by a
petition with a minimum of 100 signatures of support.
4. The Nomination Form shall first be considered at a publicly noticed meeting of an identified
City Commission. The Commission shall refer its recommendation to the Mayor and
Common Council, who shall exercise final authority in regard to the naming.
5. The naming of any City facility is intended to be an act in perpetuity. Facilities which already
bear the name of an individual shall not be considered for re-naming, in order to uphold the
original intent of honor and respect, unless substantial evidence supports the findings that the
individual was falsely credited with the honor for which the facility was named, or that the
name now tarnishes the good name of the City. Any such cause for renaming shall be
referred by the City Manager's Office to the Legislative Review Committee where such
evidence shall be evaluated before the request is referred to the Mayor and Common Council.
Currently named facilities are listed in Attachment B.
6. As provided in City of San Bernardino Parks and Recreation Public Recreational Facility
Permit - Section 18, sports leagues may, with the advanced written approval of the Director
of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, place upon the premises approved signs, bill
boards, banners, posters or advertising of products or services related to League's operations
and needs.

SELECTION CRITERIA:
The selection of a name for any City park, public facility, or amenity must meet one or more of
the following criteria:
1. The name of an identifiable geographic location or a name that provides a link to City,

Bernardino resident, a member of a San Bernardino service organization, or employed within
the City during his/her community or public service.
3. The name of an individual, organization or business may be used if there has been a
significant contribution towards the cost of providing the facility. "Significant" is defined as
providing funding for the total cost of the facility to be named, or providing funding for that
portion of the total cost which would not have been available from any other source (such as
federal/state loans or appropriations, bond issues, etc.). In such circumstances, the
contribution and the naming of the facility may be recognized through a formal agreement
approved by the Mayor and Common Council.
4. Property or open space that is dedicated to the City as a condition of development shall not
be named based on payment or cost, but may be named pursuant to any other provision of
this policy.
5. The name of a City employee may be used, regardless of length of City service, if
performance of City service caused, or significantly contributed to the death, serious illness,
or disability of said employee; or if said employee performed pioneering, breakthrough, or
lifesaving measures on behalf of the City.
6. The City of San Bernardino shall not name any facility in honor of an individual or
organization which promotes, supports, or produces products which may be detrimental to
the public health, safety or well-being, or which are not intended for consumption or use by
mmors.

public facilities, and amenities within the City of San Bernardino.

the approved nomination form.

buildings shall be referred to the Planning Commission; a Fire Station shall be referred to the
Fire Commission, etc.). City staff shall present the Nomination Forms to the Commission for
consideration.
3. In accordance with the selection criteria stated in this policy, the Commission shall consider
each submitted request in a public meeting prior to making a recommendation to the Mayor
and Council.
4. City Staff shall prepare the necessary documents (Resolution, Staff Report, etc.) to present
the recommendation to the Council for final approval.
5. If a recommended name is rejected by a majority of the Common Council, the process shall
be referred back to the originating City Commission for reconsideration.
