12.15.010 Purpose and intent.
The borough hereby establishes a policy and set of procedures to govern the naming of
borough buildings, other fixed facilities and public places. A sound naming policy adds meaning,
significance and uniformity to public facilities, minimizes conflict and provides a forum for
meaningful discussion regarding naming. Further, a borough naming policy establishes a means
of appropriately recognizing prominent individuals and those who have substantially contributed
to the Kodiak Island Borough, the state, or the nation.
12.15.020 Policy.
It is the policy of the Kodiak Island Borough to name borough owned buildings, other fixed
facilities and public places in honor of prominent Alaskans who, by virtue of special efforts,
accomplishments or contributions which have benefitted the Kodiak Island Borough of the State
of Alaska, have achieved public status worthy of long -term recognition. Non - Alaskans who have
substantially contributed to the Kodiak Island Borough, the State of Alaska or the nation as a
whole may also be considered.
12.10.030 Procedures.
A. Preliminary action in naming a building, other fixed facility, or a public place may be
initiated by the mayor or by the assembly. Upon approval of a request by assembly motion, a
five - member citizen panel will be appointed by the mayor subject to assembly approval to review
proposed names; to hold public hearings; and to identify an appropriate name for the building,
other fixed facility, or a public place. The citizen panel may be comprised of members of
recognized boards and commissions.
B. The citizen panel will identify the appropriate name of a building, other fixed facility, or
public place. The citizen panel may consider those names submitted by the mayor or the
assembly or propose an alternative. Upon agreement by a majority of the citizen panel, a letter
advising the mayor shall be dispatched. The mayor will make the panel's letter an attachment to
a resolution for consideration by the assembly. Memoranda as appropriate may be appended to
the resolution to explain or amplify relevant information for the assembly.
C. The assembly will hold at least one public hearing on the naming resolution and ensure
appropriate information dissemination to the public prior to adoption of the resolution. The name
adoption or the name change shall become effective upon adoption of the resolution by the
assembly.
12.10.040 Changing of names.

places which were donated to the borough contingent upon assignment of a specific name or to
any building, other fixed facility, or a public place constructed or purchased from money or
