Park Commission Minutes <br /> September 8, 2016 <br /> Page 3 <br /> He also noted that the benches by the Historical Museum are routered. The <br /> Commission Members concurred plaques would look nicer. <br /> The Commission Members discussed if this was the time to ask the City <br /> Council's permission to move forward. It was decided to collect more information <br /> and receive a firm quote from GLS on the plaques. They decided to use the 3" X <br /> 10" size and the plaques would honor someone. The cost could be a $100 or <br /> $150 donation to the Park Commission plus the cost of their sign. <br /> Dawn Bittner explained the gentleman who had suggested this also mentioned a <br /> slush fund for individuals who could not afford a plaque. <br /> Staff was directed to create a draft form and receive a quote and bring back next <br /> month. People could make a donation to the Park Fund to support City parks, <br /> options $250, $500 or$1,000 donations and would receive a plaque. This would <br /> not be soliciting money; it would be a donation. Staff would need to determine <br /> what funds the money could be used for. <br /> Plaques would be "In Honor Of' or "In Memory Of" an individual. Only one <br /> plaque per bench. <br /> 8.
