SUBJECT: MONUMENT/HISTORICAL MARKER POLICY
FILE REFERENCE: 2000-009
CAPTION:
ADOPT POLICY FOR PLACEMENT OF MONUMENTS AND OTHER
MARKERS ON PUBLIC RlGHTS OF WAYS OR OTHER PUBLIC
PROPERTY.
BACKGROUND:
There have been several requests in the past few months to place a monument or
other appropriate marker in the right of way or on public property to commemorate
a specific person or event. While this has been done in the past on a case by case
basis, the need to establish a policy has become apparent.
The Public Works and Engineering Department has performed a limited field
reconnaissance on the existing monuments and historical markers in the area. By
far, the majority of the existing monuments are on Greene Street with the historical
markers at various locations. The median area on Green Street and other streets
with width medians makes them ideal for the placement of monuments. Historical
markers can be placed in more confined locations.
ANALYSIS:
The criteria of the policy for placement of monuments or historical markers would
include:
1. Application for placement of monument or marker submitted to an ad hoc
committee comprised of:
· Planning and Zoning .
. Public Works and Engineering Department
. Administrator's Office
