AGENDA TITLE: Consideration of request to donate park bench and naming by Lynn Condley
MEETING DATE: Juy 17, 2002
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council provide direction regarding the donation from Ms.
Lynn Condley of a park bench, to be located at Vinewood Park, named
after Sharon Wegener and her dog.
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
