               Requests for assignment of a name or for a name change must include a petition for
               such action bearing the signatures of not less than 51 percent of the owners whose
               property adjoins the affected road. The petition shall bear evidence of the approval
               of the fire chief and the emergency medical service squad captain/president of the
               affected district prior to submission to the county commissioners. The request for
               road name assignment or a road name change must be submitted in writing to the tax
               assessor. The requestor must provide three proposed names which will be submitted
               by the tax assessor to the county board of commissioners for their consideration and
               approval of an official name assignment.
