A name which identifies a person or family which made extraordinary <br /> donation of land or funds to promote the improvement of the public <br /> facility. <br /> 4. A name which recognizes a person or family who made a significant <br /> contribution to the well being of the city, including city council, <br /> commissioners, officers and employees of the city, but not anyone <br /> who currently holds such position. <br /> <br /> Analysis of the Issues <br /> Based on the guidelines established in the Municipal Code and in <br /> consideration of what would best identify the naming of facilities, the <br /> following analysis was considered for the suggested name. <br /> 1.
