<br />The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the City is consistent in how it allows <br />the use of City-owned property for dedicating memorials and to ensure that the <br />items dedicated do not detract from the value or proposed use of the City-owned <br />property or create additional maintenance and upkeep for the City. <br /> <br /> <br />Policy <br />For citizens wishing to dedicate a memorial on City-owned property, the following <br />policy will apply: <br /> <br />1. Resident(s) will be allowed to request any City park for their <br />memorial, to be approved by the Commission. <br /> <br />2. Resident(s) will agree to pay for the cost of proposed memorial and <br />installation. <br /> <br />3. Resident(s) will work with City staff to purchase a product similar to <br />existing park equipment so it will complement or enhance existing <br />park aesthetics without significantly increasing park maintenance. <br /> <br />4. If a tree is requested, resident(s) will work with the City forester to <br />purchase a tree of desirable type for preferred park location. <br /> <br />5. Resident(s) will pay for a plaque, if desired, to attach on or near the <br />memorial. <br /> <br />6. The Mounds View Parks Department will provide general upkeep of <br />the memorial, as it fits with any regular park maintenance. <br /> <br />7. The City of Mounds View will not pay to replace any memorial that <br />is damaged beyond repair by vandalism or weather-related <br />incidents. However, the resident(s) will be notified, if possible, if <br />such an incident occurs. <br /> <br />8. The Mounds View Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission will <br />make every effort to work with resident(s) to honor the memorial <br />request and make a recommendation to the Mounds View City <br />Council for final approval. <br /> <br />9. In cases where a memorial will need to be removed, relocated or <br />displaced for whatever reason, effort will be made to notify the <br />individual(s) who originally requested such dedication. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />As this is a policy, the City Council reserves the right to deviate from this policy if <br />it is in the best interest of the City. <br />
