BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Parks and Recreation Department has been approached by Ms. Lynn Condley who has offered to donate a park bench in the name of Sharon Wegener and her dog. She would like to have the park bench placed in Vinewood Park in the "off -leash" area of the park. Current City policy states "Council must approve applications for grants or acceptance of donations containing restrictions that may have an impact on the budget". Although the park bench donation is free, there will be a minimal impact to the budget in an amount of $150 for a cement pad. Additionally, a "restriction" as placed by Ms. Condley is that the bench bears a plaque in the name of Sharon Wegener and her dog. The current bench located at Vinewood is expanded metal with plastic coating, and it is staff's understanding that the new bench would be a concrete supported bench with recycled slat material. Should Council accept the donation, staff recommends that the new bench be consistent with the existing bench at Vinewood. FUNDING: $150 Parks Operating Budget cc: City Attorney 4 APPROVED: iiTe82-i -15 Roger Baltz Parks and Recreation Director L. it ;mss axon Flynn -- City Manager 07/11/02
