A Naming of Municipal Facilities Application has alread been received by the Salina City Clerk's Office. Once the stage is designated as a qualified municipal facility, the application will be verified by the clerk's office and then reviewed by the Arts & Humanities Commission. It would then be up to Arts & Humanities to make a recommendation about the application to the city commission for its consideration, according to information in the commission meeting packet.
