The following motion on the naming of City of Kingston buildings will be considered by Kingston City Council at its meeting to be held on July 15, 2008.
-- Kingston Electors
Moved by Councillor Matheson
Seconded by Councillor Osanic
WHEREAS staff has developed a consultation process for the naming of corporate assets that includes allowing members of the public to go the City website and to select a suffix name for a City-owned asset that is being named; and,
WHEREAS this process allows for members of the public to provide for creative “other ideas”; and,
WHEREAS there does not appear to be a process in place for including those names that are innovative and that DO meet the naming policy guidelines; and,
WHEREAS this naming process is new, and has room for improvement to become more inclusive of public input, it being recognized that this process adds to publicity for the City’s facilities and prospective partners, and in the end has the capacity to truly value and endorse a global community ownership of all City facilities;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the process for seeking public input on the naming of corporate assets be referred to the Administrative Policies Committee for review by the Committee, staff and the public, with particular consideration being given to the consideration of how creative ideas presented by the public can be dealt with more effectively, and that this Committee report back to Council at the second meeting of October, 2008.
