Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation

Bench Dedication Catalog

UPDATED April 2nd, 2020

of 11

INTRODUCING the Lakes Park Bench Dedication Program The Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation (LPEF) has been piloting a program to replace and/or dedicate benches throughout the park. The purpose of this project is two-fold:

1. Replace benches that are unsafe or uncomfortable 2. Raise funds for continuing improvements to the Park

BENCH DEDICATION POLICY

FACTS ABOUT BENCH PLACEMENT AND RE-PLACEMENT • EXISTING PADS ONLY - Additional cement pads will NOT be installed. Only

existing pads will be used. • EXISTING DEDICATIONS - Some very old benches targeted for replacement

had been previously dedicated. These were white, ornate, consumer-grade benches, not intended for heavy use and weather exposure in a public park. The County judged them unsafe and they were removed. LPEF has purchased engraved bricks to replace the previous dedications. These spots are now available to donors.

• BLACK IRON BENCHES - Seen mostly around the train station, these benches become much too hot for park patrons to sit on, so they will be replaced. One additional blank pad near the train station has been identified and added to the inventory.

DEDICATION STONES In order to preserve the integrity of the bench material, dedications will not be attached to the bench. Dedications are engraved on a 12” x 12” red paving stone. Dedications may consist of 1 to 8 lines of up to 18 characters each (spaces and punctuation count as characters). DEDICATION LANGUAGE Lee County prefers that we no longer engrave “memorial language”, so use words like “Dedicated to…” or “In honor of…” instead. The County and the Foundation reserve the right to reject any engraving request either organization deems inappropriate. DONATIONS: We accept checks and credit card payments. As of August 6th, 2019, donations for the various types/sizes are: Existing bench: $1,600 New 4-ft bench: $2,500 New 6-ft bench: $3,500 Additional Policy and Rules:

A. This policy is designed to enable parks users to support Lee County’s LAKES

REGIONAL PARK through a tax-deductible contribution. Contributions will be

acknowledged by the Lakes Park Enrichment Foundation (“LPEF”) via a letter

of 11

detailing the donation, which does not entitle the donor to ownership of the

donated element.

B. Only bench donations are covered by this policy.

C. The donation must be processed before the commencement of any work. The

current donation levels are stated herein. These amounts subject to adjustments

periodically.

D. A donation period will last 10 years. Within this time, LPEF will replace a park bench donation and/or plaque up to one time within one year of the original installation if deemed necessary by LPEF and/or Lee County Parks & Recreation (“Parks & Rec”). Should more than one replacement be required, it is up to the donor to replace it. If the donor declines to replace it, a new donor will be sought. Dedication stones for benches with expired donation periods or benches that have been replaced by a new donor will be re-installed at a location in the park selected by Lee County Parks & Recreation.

E. After 10 years, the donated bench will be available for renewal for the cost of a new donation, with the first right of refusal given to the original donor. If the original donor opts not to renew, the bench may be removed or rededicated at any time.

F. Parks & Rec retains the right to relocate any donated element and/or plaque at

any time. If a bench needs to be relocated, Parks & Rec will contact the donor to

discuss alternative locations. Parks & Rec will make the final determination.

G. Parks & Rec, in collaboration with the donor, will determine the bench location.

H. The donor shall select a bench from the existing undedicated park benches.

I. Dedications may consist of 1 to 8 lines of up to 18 characters each (spaces and punctuation count as characters). Text is subject to the approval of both LPEF and Parks & Rec.
