Recommended Action Accept a bench with a special plaque in memory of Virginia Logan from her daughter, Mrs. Marcia Alicea. Description Mrs. Virginia Logan was a long time resident of Cupertino for 44 years. She loved Cupertino and was proud of her beautiful neighborhood, fantastic schools and wonderful open spaces. Over the years, Mrs. Logan was actively involved at the Senior Center taking classes, going on trips and attended many of the special events. She was an active volunteer at the Senior Center for many years and developed life-long friends through community activities and in her neighborhood. When the Cupertino Veterans Memorial was opened in 2007, Mrs. Logan honored her husband, Jess Logan, a WWII Navy Veteran, by sponsoring an engraved tile to be placed by the Navy emblem. The family now has a nice place to go and sit and remember him. Mrs. Alicea and their family would also like the same opportunity for their mother and have a place to remember her in the environment she loved. Discussion Cupertino Resolution No. 03-162 has adopted policies and procedures for recognizing donors. A donation which is accepted by the City Council may be recognized by a plaque affixed to the appropriate structure or furnishing. In this case, if the City Council accepts the bench donation from the family of Mrs. Virginia Logan, a plaque in recognition of Virginia Logan would be placed on the bench. 158 If accepted, the bench will be located at a designated place at Memorial Park near the Senior Center. The City will make reasonable efforts to maintain the bench and the plaque. Fiscal Impact The bench will be maintained at no additional cost to the Memorial Park maintenance budget.
