CITY MANAGER'S REPORT

City of Boynton Beach
- Agenda Item Request Form
Commission Meeting Date: 11/4/2020
Requested Action by Commission: Discuss naming city facilities in the Town Square Project in downtown
Boynton Beach.
Explanation of Request:
As completion of the public facilities in the Town Square project in downtown Boynton Beach nears, it is now
time to consider naming the new facilities. Ordinance 06-078 outlines a procedure that guides how city
facilities are named. The ordinance is attached. Staff recommends naming the open space park area by the
new amphitheater, the renovated high school building and the open space park immediately west of the high
school where the historic Kapok tree sits.
Staff is recommending the following names for these facilities:
Centennial Park-for the park space by the amphitheater- built during Centennial- 100th birthday
Kapok Park-for the open space west of the high school-for historic Kapok tree
Boynton Beach Arts and Cultural Center -for the renovated high school-which will now be utilized for
arts and cultural programs, events, weddings, lectures, art exhibitions, community programs and concerts. All
of these names meet the criteria outlined in the ordinance.
As the Commission is aware, an active naming rights campaign is underway. Should the city receive funds
for any of its facilities included in the campaign, they will be renamed accordingly. In the meantime,
marketing materials are being produced to advertise the amenities and spaces and appropriate names for the
facilities listed above are needed.
Per the ordinance, the Commission sends the naming suggestions to a five member committee. Typically, the
Commission has asked the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board to sit in this capacity. The advisory board
will then consider and discuss the naming suggestions and seek public input at their meeting. Ultimately they
will provide a recommendation back to the City Commission for adoption.
How will this affect city programs or services?

3 Manager to the City Commission or by request of any member of the City
4 Commission through the City Manager.
5 b. City staff as designated by the City Manager will review the proposal for
