Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department <br />600 Town Center Parkway <br />Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br />(651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 <br />www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us <br />June 3, 2004 <br />TO: Park Board Members <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />SUBJECT: Memorial Plaque Information <br />During the past few months, the Park Board and staff have discussed the issue of placing <br />memorial plaques in our neighborhood parks system. Since our last Park Board Meeting, I have <br />checked with several agencies regarding this issue. There does not seem to be any type of formal <br />policy allowing a memorial plaque to be placed within the neighborhood parks. I have <br />summarized some of the findings that are somewhat related to this: <br />Fridley <br />A family donated new playground equipment in memoriam of their daughter who passed away. <br />A plaque has been placed near the playground area. <br />Blaine <br />The City of Blaine has installed a plaque for land that was dedicated for a neighborhood park. <br />This was not part of the required park dedication for the development. <br />Roseville <br />Recognition plaques are installed in situations where a significant or substantial contribution is <br />made. This has included significant park development or actual land dedication. <br />Anoka County <br />Anoka County limits memorials to park benches and trees. An engraved plate stating, "In <br />memory of " is placed on the park bench or a post near the tree. Staff determines location, <br />type, etc. <br />Placing memorial plaques at residents request has not been commonly done. I think it is <br />important to establish certain criteria in which to allow memorial plaques to be placed within the <br />park system. Without requiring certain pre- requisites such as substantial cash or land <br />dedications, our park system has the potential to be overcome with memorial plaques. <br />If the Park Board is really interested in pursuing an avenue in which residents can place <br />memorials within our park system, perhaps requiring purchasing a park bench is an option. An <br />engraved plate could then be attached to the park bench. Again, once we proceed with this, it is <br />quite possible to see additional requests for trees, gardens, etc. <br />sw /parkbrd /meeting info/Memorial Plaque Information.doc <br />
