The City of Billings Parks and Recreation Department has received a donation from Debbie Rathbun of Kalispell in the amount of $1,000 for the purchase and installation of a park bench at Descro Park to honor her mother who lives near the park and walks on the trail there frequently.  The Rathbun Family has provided a modest 5" x 7" bronze plaque dedicating the bench to their mother.  The bench has been installed just off the heritage Trail running through Descro Park on a concrete pad at the north end of the park.   

The Council may:

1-  Accept the donation for a bench at Descro Park.
2-  Not accept the donation for a bench at Descro Park

There will be no financial impact to the City.  The funds that were donated were used to purchase and install the bench.

Staff recommends that Council accept this generous donation from the Rathbun Family to provide a bench at Descro Park.
