Policy

The City of Tracy’s Naming Public Buildings, Parks and Recreation Facilities Policy establishes guidelines and procedures for naming city-owned buildings, parks, recreation facilities, and designated spaces within those facilities. The policy encourages names that reflect the community’s history, geography, cultural diversity, and the contributions of individuals or families who have demonstrated long-term service or involvement in the Tracy community. Naming proposals for parks and recreation facilities involve a public process that includes community input and review by the Parks and Community Services Commission, which forwards recommended names to the City Council for final approval. Public building naming requests are reviewed by a City Council subcommittee before being considered by the full City Council. The policy also allows recognition of significant financial contributions by incorporating a benefactor’s name into a facility, while ensuring transparency and consistency in the naming process.
