CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting: June 2, 2015
Subject
Request from Mrs. Marcia Alicea to sponsor a bench in memory of her mother, Mrs.
Virginia Logan, at Memorial Park, adjacent to the Cupertino Senior Center.
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.
