Council sets public hearing on proposed Memorial Bench Program changes
Summary
Council approved calling a public hearing to consider increasing Memorial Bench Program pricing from $840 to $1,000 and a plan for the City to pour concrete pads while purchasers buy benches and plaques; existing benches would be replaced and relocated within the city.
Council Member Kim Westergard presented proposed amendments to the Memorial Bench Program designed to standardize materials and installation. The proposal would raise the bench purchase price from $840 to $1,000 for the plastic bench with a 50-year warranty, and have the city install concrete pads while purchasers buy the bench and plaque.
Council discussed placing existing benches in alternative city locations and establishing a line-item to cover the concrete work. Kim moved and Dallin Jolley seconded a motion to call a public hearing to consider increasing the program fee; the motion passed unanimously. The council asked staff to prepare public-notice materials and cost breakdowns ahead of the hearing.
