ADJOURNMENT PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Agenda Item Title: Recommendation to City Council to rename Gilroy Museum's research room to the "Claudia Salewske Research Room." Meeting Date: May 16, 2022 Submitted By: Adam Henig Prepared By: Adam Henig Recommendation: Motion to approve recommendation to City Council to rename Gilroy Museum Research Room to the Claudia Salewske Research Room. Executive Summary At the April 2022 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Gilroy Historical Society President Connie Rogers requested the Commission add to a future agenda meeting the renaming of the Gilroy Museum Research Room. Ms. Rogers is proposing to name the room after the late Claudia Salewske, a local author and dedicated Museum volunteer. Background Claudia Salewske was an English teacher at Gilroy High School for many years and then an English professor at San Jose State University. Claudia was a volunteer at the Gilroy Museum and is the author of two books about the history of Gilroy: Pieces of the Past: A Story of Gilroy (1982) and Gilroy (Arcadia Publishing, 2003). When she was conducting research for these publications, Claudia did most of it in the Museum’s research room. She died in 2016. The Salewske family has donated the book’s royalties to the Museum. Discussion According to the City’s “Parks or Recreation Facilities Naming, Community and Memorial Contribution, and Gift and Sponsorship Policy,” which was approved on May 19, 2014, the criteria to rename a facility after a person is defined as someone “who has made a distinct and significant contribution to the City of Gilroy.” This is defined in the following manner (for more details, see section B, “Commemorative Dedications and Names”): 9.A Packet Pg. 4 • Person must be deceased at least one year before a commemorative dedication or naming proposal will be considered • Demonstrate outstanding achievements, contributions to the community, and enrichment of the City • Have had a direct and long-term association with the feature or facility. • Contribution to the community was through our park or recreation system or programs. • The named resource is pertinent to, or representative of, the individual’s contribution. • The proposal to commemorate an individual should contain evidence of broad - based local support for the proposed name and its application, such as letters, editorials, and petitions. • The costs of plaques, monuments, and replacement of signs resulting from, or done in conjunction with the dedication or commemorative naming will be borne by the individual, group, or organization sponsoring the request Based on the information cited above, the application to rename the research room at the Museum fulfils the renaming criteria.

PARK OR RECREATION FACILITY NAMING POLICY A) Naming, Renaming of Park or Recreation Facilities or Features Overview The use of names based upon distinguishing characteristics, location, or historical usage, is a long-standing practice for the official naming of public sites and facilities. At the national level, naming of federal sites is overseen by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Among the key factors considered by the Board is use of names based on established, historical, and local usage. Not surprisingly, many agencies have adopted policies that are generally similar to those of the Board on Geographic Names, and which give priority to names based on geography, location, historical usage, and distinguishing characteristics. At the same time, it is recognized that individuals and community organizations periodically wish to honor individuals or groups by naming park or recreation assets after them. The policy outlined below was developed to accommodate the desire for commemorative naming, where warranted, while still supporting the primary community values. Policy It is the policy of the City to name park or recreation facilities in a manner that will priority in naming facilities shall be given to geographical location. The geographic location may be based on the identification of the facility with a specific place, neighborhood, major street, or regional area of the City. Facilities may also be named based on distinguishing, prominent, natural or geological features. This may be used in conjunction with a geographical location, for example, Three Rivers Peak. Names in common or historical usage have a secondary priority. Names that honor a person who has made a distinct and significant contribution to the City of Gilroy will be considered in accordance with Section I.B.) Commemorative Dedications and Names. Naming that is done in exchange for major contributions will be considered in accordance with Section IV, Gift and Sponsorship Policy. Conditions of property donation or deed shall be honored regarding name of facility, although a geographic or characteristic name is preferred. Names that are similar to existing park or recreation facilities or properties in the Gilroy area should be avoided in order to minimize confusion. Property type and intended use may be designated in the name. Park or recreation facilities named after an individual should include the geographic, natural, or geological features as part of the name, i.e. DeBell-Uvas Park Preserve 9.A.b Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: PRC Facility Naming Memorial Gift & Sponsorship Policy (3781 : Recommendation to Rename Gilroy Museum's research room to Page 5 of 12 B) Commemorative Dedications and Names Overview The selection of commemorative names must be done in a manner that insures that there is broad based support for the naming and general acknowledgement that the contributions of the individual being honored are extraordinary, above and beyond the norm, and unique in quantity and quality of service. Extreme care and diligence must be exercised in the application of this policy to insure that the selection of honorees will withstand the test of time. If the selection of individuals for commemorative naming or dedication is felt to be inconsistent or biased, then it could become a divisive force in the community and make future decisions on naming difficult and shrouded in controversy. It is the goal of this policy, therefore, to provide consistency in the evaluation of dedication and naming requests and to insure that this honor is bestowed to individuals in an equitable manner and based on common criteria. The dedication or commemorative naming of park or recreation facilities or features will be considered with the following guidelines: Guidelines: Names or dedications that commemorate or may be construed to commemorate living persons will not be considered, except at the discretion of the City Council. The person being honored must be deceased at least one year before a commemorative dedication or naming proposal will be considered. The individual/organization must have demonstrated outstanding achievements, contributions to the community, and enrichment of the City. The contribution of the person being honored must have been uncompensated, extraordinary, significant, and unique, setting this individual apart from others who contributed to the community. This may be evident by documented history such as articles in newspapers awards. The person being honored by the dedication or naming should have had a direct and long term association with the feature or facility. Early or long-time settler 20 or more years Developer of the designated feature Restorer or maintainer of the feature Donor of the land to the City of Gilroy Person who played a large part in protecting the land or feature for public benefit Person who played a large part in providing community services through the feature or facility Contribution to the community was through our park or recreation system or programs. Contributions to the park or recreation system were sustained over a long period of time. 9.A.b Packet Pg. 10 Attachment: PRC Facility Naming Memorial Gift & Sponsorship Policy (3781 : Recommendation to Rename Gilroy Museum's research room to Page 6 of 12 The proposal to commemorate an individual should contain evidence of broad based local support for the proposed name and its application, such as letters, editorials, and petitions.
