The Gainesville City Council has placed on the consent agenda a policy for the naming of city-owned property, including parks. “It discourages renaming and explains the reason that there should be some resistance to naming, but it does allow for that and a procedure for that,” said Public Works Director David Dockery, in his presentation to the council at the Thursday work session. Reasons listed for discouragement included consideration of the meaning of the original name and financial burden of redoing maps and signage.
