SUMMARY
At the January 14, 2008 Regular Meeting, Council will be requested by a veterans group, led by
Diane George, to dedication a 50' x 50' parcel in Riverview Park to facilitate the location of the
Four Chaplains Memorial.
Previously, Council was made aware of this request and since that time, the Veterans Group has
now modified designs and seeks a location and permission to erect a sign marking the location of
the memorial to come. The group is current in the process of raising funds and seeks no financial
support from the City.
Enclosed for your review is a rendering of the proposed memorial and potential locations. Staff
has identified two areas. First, a location between the War Memorial and splash pad. While this
location is only 36'x 50', it proposes the best use of the park, without sacrifice to parking, or other
future uses. Because the Veterans.group is still in the design phase with Schulke, Bittle and
Stoddard, it is probibly feasible to design to this space. Another location alternative is
immediately south of the War Memorial. This area may require some tree removal and slightly
protrude into the park area, but, will provide a space large enough for the group.
RECOMMENDATION
Consider request for land dedication and sign erecting.
