Commission approves standardized memorial-plaque program for Ridge Run Dog Park
Summary
The commission approved a standardized program to sell donor plaques for the Ridge Run Dog Park at $75 per plaque (up to 50 plaques), with proceeds applied to park improvements; the design will be standardized to avoid ad-hoc items on the fence.
Parks staff proposed a Ridge Run Dog Park memorial-plaque program that would allow donors to purchase standardized plaques ($75 each) to honor pets or family members. The program would cap the initial purchase at up to 50 plaques, with proceeds directed to dog-park improvements, and the commission approved purchase of plaques from Stonefly Signs at a cost not to exceed $525.
Commissioners asked why the item was brought under new business rather than the consent agenda; parks staff said the project had been vetted by the Parks & Recreation Commission and budgeted. The approved program uses a standardized plaque design and allows donors to customize plaque text (name of pet or other wording) but not the physical plaque size or style.
The motion passed with unanimous support. Staff said the program is funded from pre-budgeted funds and any proceeds would be applied to dog-park improvements.
