RECOMMENDEDACTION: That the City Council accepts a memorial plaque donation from Mrs.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In September 2004, staff was contacted by Friends of Lodi Lake
member Mrs. Mitchell requesting that a 24" box oak tree be planted
at the entrance to Lodi Lake NatureArea in memory of Mr. Neil
Porterfield. The Friends of Lodi Lake funded the purchase of the
oak. Staff planted the oak on October 21, 2004, at the Nature Area.
On November 11,2004, staff received a letter from Mrs. MaryAnn L. Porterfield now requesting that a
memorial plaque be placed at the base of the tree planted in memory of Mr. Porterfield. I have discussed
this project with Mrs. Porterfield. She is in support of providing the funding for this requested project.
Per the Memorial Park Bench and Tree Policy I have reviewed the request. I support the request of
placing a memorial plaque at the base of the Oak tree.
