SUBJECT: Naming of County Buildings
Supervisor Nancy C. Fanden brought to the attention of the
Board a proposed report from the County Administrator with respect
to development of criteria and policy on the naming of County
buildings. The report recommended the following criteria:
1 . Buildings will normally be named to reflect location
and/or function, e .g . , Martinez Detention Facility;
2 . Buildings will not be named for living persons unless
the person contributed the major funding for the facil-
ity; and
J
3. Buildings may be named for county officials closely
identified with a facility or program but only as a
Memorial .
Supervisor Tom Powers stated that he felt that the Board
should reserve the right to name a building after a person no longer
in public office but still living.
After discussion by Board members , IT IS ORDERED that the
issue of naming County buildings after living persons is REFERRED to
the Internal Operations Committee for review and recommendation.
