This ordinance makes a number of minor revisions to the city's procedure for naming or renaming public buildings, facilities and streets. It provides that naming or renaming proposals shall be submitted to the commissioner of public works, rather than the city clerk, and that the department of public works shall provide staff support to the citizens advisory committee on namings and renamings. The ordinance also requires only the chairperson of the citizen advisory committee to be present at the common council's public hearing on a naming or renaming proposal, rather than the entire committee, as previously specified. In addition, it deletes the provision that an approved naming or renaming shall take effect 90 days after the common council's final action on the matter.
