Sir Bobby Robson, Alan Shearer and Jackie Milburn have been handed the honour in the past.
City council leader Karen Kilgour told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "Generations of supporters have never seen their beloved club lift a domestic trophy, and under his leadership we all now have treasured memories of a truly unforgettable day."
Howe's honour is expected to be formally confirmed at a full council meeting later this year.
