BOEHME, SECRETARY OF THE DISTRICT SUBJECT: NAMING OF DISTRICT FACILITIES POLICY Attached is a preliminary draft of the Naming of District Facilities Policy. At the October 15, 2015 Board meeting, the Board voted to name the Environmental Laboratory in memory of former Board Member Dr. Mario Menesini. At that time, Member Williams recommended that guidelines be developed for addressing such matters in the future. Currently, the only other District facility that is dedicated to an individual is the Headworks Facility, where a plaque states "In Memory of John B. Clausen" (see attached). After reviewing similar policies from other agencies, the attached draft has been prepared for Committee review and input.
