Resident willing to fund an honorary bench at Strawberry Park; committee to follow up on bench type and tree accompaniment
Summary
A resident proposed funding an honorary bench for Roger Sherman at Strawberry Park; committee members will follow up to confirm bench style and discuss adding a shade tree near the bench later.
The committee revisited a public comment request for an honorary bench at Strawberry Park for Roger Sherman. A committee member reported Aug. 20 that the resident, Mr. Parker, has not contacted staff directly but indicated willingness to pay for a bench.
The committee said Mr. Parker preferred either a green metal bench or a concrete bench rather than a wooden style and that they will follow up to confirm his final preference and neighborhood support. Members also discussed the possibility of planting a shade tree near the bench later, subject to placement logistics and staff review.
No formal action or payment was taken at the meeting; staff said they will reach out to the resident to confirm bench type and next steps for installation and any associated costs or approvals.
