Item No. 8C <br />Meeting Date: November 26, 2007 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />City Administrator Review _______ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7189 Approving a Policy for Dedicating <br />Memorials in City Parks <br /> <br />Background: <br />The City Council has been discussing the possibility of developing guidelines / <br />policy for allowing memorials in City parks (or other City property). <br /> <br />The City has allowed such memorials to be placed in City parks in the past, but <br />has not provided any guidelines or policies for such memorials. <br /> <br />The Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission has discussed this subject <br />and has developed a recommended policy. <br /> <br />On November 5, 2007 the City Council reviewed and discussed this policy. <br /> <br /> Discussion: <br /> Attached is a copy of the draft policy for Council’s review and consideration. At <br />the November 5, 2007 City Council Work Session, there was discussion <br />pertaining to having a separate plaque or allowing plaques to be placed on the <br />newly constructed pedestrian foot bridge located along County Road 10. This <br />could be allowed based on the policy as currently proposed. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving a policy for <br />dedicating memorials in City parks and authorize the City Administrator to <br />execute it. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />Greg Lee, Director of Public Works <br /> <br />RESOLUTION 7189 <br />
