BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On February 21, 2003, staff received a correspondence from Mrs.
Evelyn L. Rich informing them that she was interested in donating
$500 for the purchase and installation of a park bench in memory of
her husband, Mr. Charles Thomas (Tom) Rich who passed on
August7,1992.
Mrs, Rich was interested in having the park bench placed along Phase 11 of the Pedestrian/Bicycle Trail
at Lodi Lake Park. Staff discussed the bench selection and location with Mrs. Rich.
Mrs. Rich has now corresponded with staff requesting that a memorial plaque be included in the bench
project. Per the Memorial Park Bench and Tree Policy staff has reviewed her request. Staff supports
her request of including a plaque as part of the bench project. Mrs. Rich has agreed to provide
additional funding if her original donation of $500 will not cover the additional cost of the plaque.
The Park and Recreation Commission unanimously accepted this donation at their October 7, 2003,
meeting,
