a. The Tukwila City Council shall be the final
authority in approving the names of City owned real property.

Tukwila shall be given grid numbered names in order to enhance

of numbered City streets. The Administration will inform the
Council of these names when approved.
d. The names of parks in Tukwila shall be recommended
by the City's Park Commission. Their recommendation will be
forwarded to the City Council for consideration.

the City Council Committee most concerned with community affairs
will recommend a name or alternative names for City Council
consideration and approval.

Administration, commissions and boards will be encouraged to
propose names for council consideration.

facilities should be named according to the following criteria:
1. Geographical location;
2. Historical considerations;
3. Names of persons;
4. Geological features; and
5. City identity and image
h. Naming property after living persons shall
generally be avoided. Where persons names are used, they should
be people who have made an outstanding contribution to the
community, whose names are of historical significance to the
area, or who have been instrumental in acquiring the area.
i. In the event a name change for a facility is
sought, the City Council will delay a final decision for one
hundred twenty (120) days after its initial consideration of the
change. Such a change will generally follow the process for a
new name.
