Staff recommends that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission approve the bench donation
request at Bob Henry Park.
Discussion
City Council Policy B -17 establishes criteria for parks, facilities, and recreation program donations
within the City. The policy is structured to establish a fair, uniform procedure for making gifts to the
City, and to make the donation process easier for staff and residents.
Per City Council Policy B -17, the City has received a request from Kristin Hamilton to donate a
bench at Bob Henry Park (Attachment A). The bench donation (Attachment B) is included on the
City's Official Bench List and fits with the other benches at Bob Henry Park. Attachment C shows
the location of the proposed bench donation.
Since the value of the bench is greater than $1,000.00, the donation is eligible to receive a plaque
that will be placed on the bench. The submitted plaque verbiage is "In Recognition of Captain
Richard Hamilton, Newport Beach Police ", which complies with City Council Policy B -17.
Ms. Hamilton, Council Member Don Webb, Castaways Homeowners Association, and the Dover
Shores Community Association have received a copy of this report and a notice of the Commission
meeting.
Very respectfully,
Mark Harmon
