AGENDA CAPTION:
Present, Discuss and Consider Action on a Resolution Amending the Spruill Dog Park Naming and Recognition Policy to Modify the Minimum Requirement for a Business Contribution.
BACKGROUND:

At the February 28, 2017 Council meeting, Council approved a resolution adopting a naming and recognition policy for city-owned improvements at Spruill Dog Park. As part of the policy, naming elements are limited to the dog's name, individual or family name, or a dog-centric business name. A dog-centric business is defined as accommodating dogs or dog owners and/or provide supplies, services and care for dogs. The minimum donation for a dog-centric business is $1,000.

At the April 10, 2018 Council meeting, Council removed the dog-centric requirement from the policy.

The current policy allows for two levels of recognition:

a.) Individuals who donate a minimum of $100.00 in funds to the Spruill Dog Park are eligible for recognition on a brick paver.
b.) Individuals or businesses who donate a minimum of $1,000.00 in funds to Spruill Dog Park are eligible for recognition on an individual flagstone.


Donations for Spruill Dog Park are tax deductible and should be coordinated with the Addison Legacy Foundation.

Several businesses have offered to make a donation, for Spruill Dog Park, for recognition on a paver at the $100.00 level.  The Legacy Foundation is requesting that Council consider an amendment to the naming policy allowing businesses to make a donation and receive recognition on a paver at the $100 level and striking the requirement for the minimum business donation of $1,000.

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests direction from Council.
