H.
Purpose. The purpose is to establish a formal policy and process
for naming parks, public buildings, structures, facilities, and streets
in the City of Oronogo, Missouri. A sound policy can add meaning and
significance that embodies the value and heritage of this community.
I.
Authorization. The City's Park Board shall be responsible for recommending
to the Board of Aldermen the naming of public parks in the City, subject
to the approval of the Board of Aldermen.
J.
Objectives.
1.
Provide name identification for individual parks.
2.
Provide name identification wherever appropriate for public
buildings, structures, facilities, in City parks.
3.
Provide for citizen input into the process of naming public
buildings, structures, facilities, and streets as enumerated above.
4.
Insure control for the naming of parks, including structures
and facilities within any City park by the Board of Aldermen through
the recommendations of the Park Board.
K.
Qualifying Names. Names should provide some form of individual identity
related to:
1.
The geographic location of the facility.
2.
An outstanding feature of the facility.
3.
An adjoining subdivision.
4.
A commonly recognized historical event, group, or individual.
5.
An individual or group who contributed significantly to the
acquisition or development of the individual facility.
6.
An individual who provided an exceptional service in the interest
of the City as a whole.
L.
Naming Process.
1.
At the time park land or a facility is acquired, but before
development occurs, the City will assign a non-descript temporary
working name for the area or facility.
2.
Once the development is initiated, the Park Board will receive
naming applications for review by the committee.
3.
After a name is decided upon by the Park Board, public notice
of the recommended qualifying name will be posted at the City Hall
and may be published once during a thirty-day period in the City's
official newsletter or other publication. Citizen comments and recommendations
must be in writing to the Park Board and be postmarked within the
thirty-day public notice period.
4.
For an individual (excluding historically significant individuals)
to be considered, that person must have contributed significantly
to the acquisition or development of the park or facility or to the
City overall. The recommended name must be accompanied by a biographical
sketch which shall provide evidence of contributions to the park,
facility, or City overall.
5.
After the thirty-day public notice period, the Park Board will
submit the recommended name to the Board of Aldermen for final approval.
M.
Renaming.
1.
The renaming of parks, public buildings, structures, facilities,
and streets is strongly discouraged. It is recommended that efforts
to change a name be subject to the most critical examination so as
not to diminish the original justification for the name or discount
the value of the prior contributors.
2.
Only those parks, public buildings, structures, facilities,
and streets named for geographic location, outstanding feature, or
subdivision should be considered for renaming. Parks named by deed
restriction cannot be considered for renaming.
3.
Public buildings, structures, facilities, and streets named
after individuals should never be changed unless it is found that
the individual's personal character is or was such that the continued
use of their name for a park or facility would not be in the best
interest of the City.
4.
In order for public buildings, structures, facilities, and streets
to be considered for renaming, the following must occur: the recommended
name must qualify according to this policy and be accompanied by a
petition from the particular public park, facility, or street users.
5.
If a proposal is received for the naming or renaming of municipal
property or the placing of a memorial on municipal property where
a property or memorial already bears the proposed name, the suggested
name or renaming of a memorial should be denied.
N.
Other Naming Alternatives.
1.
Parks, public buildings, structures, facilities, and streets
that are donated to the City can be named by deed restriction or plat,
by the donor. The naming and acceptance of land is subject to approval
by the Board of Aldermen.
2.
Facilities within parks, i.e., playgrounds, picnic shelters,
etc., can be named separately from the parks and facilities they are
in, subject to the general approving policies in this policy.
O.
Plaques, Markers, Memorials.
1.
All plaques, markers, and memorials are subject to the same
naming criteria in this policy.
2.
Because of their proneness to vandalism and maintenance, plaques,
markers, and memorials should be used sparingly.
3.
The Park Board, subject to approval by the Board of Aldermen,
establishes the style, size, and placement of all plaques, markers,
signs, and memorials.
4.
It is anticipated that certain signs or markers such as City
limit signs may display names to bring attention to current or former
Oronogo residents. These names will be considered as transient and
subject to rotation at the discretion of the Board of Aldermen, as
recommended by the Park Board.
P.
Use of Park Pavilions.
1.
Residents of the City of Oronogo may reserve the use of the
park pavilion by contacting the City Hall which shall maintain a list
at the park pavilion of those reserving the same.
2.
The cost of reserving the park pavilion shall be ten dollars
($10.00) to cover maintenance costs incurred by the City. The fee
shall be deposited with the City Clerk at least two (2) business days
prior to the intended use.
3.
The Chief of Police or Director of Public Works has the authority
to terminate or suspend any use of the park pavilion for violation
of any rules or regulations of this Chapter.
Q.
Prohibition
of Tobacco and Marijuana in City Buildings or Public Places.
[Ord. No. 23-07, 3-27-2023]
1.
Use of tobacco products, including smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes
or other inhalers for use with tobacco are prohibited inside any City-owned
and/or maintained buildings. Any use of such tobacco products shall
be limited to twenty-five (25) feet or more from any entry area of
a City building.
