City Council Agenda Item Report
At the December 11, 2006, City Council meeting, William La Pointe, Director of
Parks, Recreation and Community Services, presented an agenda item concerning
“Adoption of a Resolution Approving and Adopting a City Council Policy
Statement Entitled “Naming of City Facilities.” This staff report is provided as
Attachment 2. Following discussion of the item, the City Council unanimously
adopted Resolution No. 2006-R089, approving and adopting a City Council Policy
Statement entitled “NAMING OF CITY FACILITIES.” The minutes of the December
11, 2006, meeting are provided as Attachment 3. The Council Policy Statement
(number TBD) is provided as Attachment 4.
At the July 10, 2006 City Council meeting, Vice-Mayor (now Mayor) Corlin requested
support to agendize discussion regarding naming the road leading to the Culver City
Dog Park and suggested calling the road “Leash Lane”. The City Council concurred
with the request and it was placed on the list of items that should be brought back to
the City Council for their action.
The existing road is adjacent to Culver City Park and is an undedicated city road
(extending from Jefferson to Duquesne for an approximate length of 570 feet). A
map showing the location of the road is provided as Attachment 5. Staff thought it
appropriate that the Parks and Recreation Commission consider this matter first, and
make a recommendation for the City Council’s consideration since the road is used
primarily for public access to the Dog Park and other areas of Culver City Park. A
map of Culver City Park has been included for your reference as Attachment 6.
The three names that have been suggested for the City Council’s consideration by
the Parks and Recreation Commission include: Dog Park Drive, Leash Lane, and
Lassie Lane. Because of the road’s close proximity to the Dog Park, all of these
names are consistent with the Descriptive Naming strategy detailed in the attached
Council Policy. On Attachment 4, page 6, under Descriptive Naming, criterion
number 2 (Adjacent Street) and number 5 (Function) both apply. Of course, names
other than those associated with the Dog Park and dogs could also be considered
as well.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The installation of the street signage would consist of two employees at $54.00 per
hour, each contributing 30 minutes of work. There would be a total of two new street
signs at an approximate cost of $60.00 each. The total cost would be approximately
$174.00 and would be absorbed by the Maintenance Operations Division (Streets)
Budget, Business Unit 10161100.514190 (Other Special Department Supplies).
If the City Council directs Staff to proceed on the Parks and Recreation Commission
recommendation to install a directional sign as a “way finding” sign in addition to the City of Culver City, California

new street signs for the Culver City Dog Park, the installation of the street signage
would consist of two employees at $54.00 per hour, each contributing 45 minutes of
work. There would be a total of two new street signs at $60.00 each and one “way
finding” sign at an approximate cost of $125.00. The total cost would be
approximately $326.00 and would be absorbed by the Maintenance Operations
Division (Streets) Budget, Business Unit 10161100.514190 (Other Special
