MEMO TO: . . V. - .:arks and Recreation reation Commission <br /> FROM: Staf Al <br /> DATE: April 2111' ' 81 <br /> • SUBJECT: Memorial - Jack Shields <br /> As you are aware our City Forester passed away December 31, 1980, <br /> following a lengthy bout with cancer. Staff had planned to <br /> construct a memorial in Jack's honor at the City garden site <br /> but as can be noted in the attached correspondence Ramsey <br /> County did not feel it would be a good idea 'due to the temporary <br /> nature of the garden. <br /> Staff would like to "brainstorm" with the Commission on other <br /> Memorial possibilities that might be appropriate. Possible <br /> suggestion include: <br /> 1. Formal flower planter, rose garden, etc. <br /> 2. Benches for tot lot area. <br /> 3. Arboretum concept or special tree planting at one <br /> of the local parks. <br /> 4. Purchase gardening books that could be donated to <br /> 0 the local library. <br /> These are only preliminary ideas and staff is receptive to <br /> other ideas or thoughts you might have. <br /> Attachment <br />
