Recently the City has received donations for 4 memorial benches in various parks.  Donors, donation amount and park locations are as follows:

1. Gerald and Sandra Bruns     $1,855             Riverfront Park
2. Ronald Lund                            $1,500             Pioneer Park
3. Gary and Angie George         $1,500              Park at corner of Locust and McDonnell Blvd.
4. Peter Heltborg                         $1,500             Millice Park               

The donations will pay for Parks and Recreation staff to install the bench and plaque in these parks on concrete slabs.  These generous donations will provide much needed seating at these parks. 

Council may:
      1.  Accept the donations.
      2.  Not accept the donations.

There will be no financial impact to the City of Billings.

Staff recommends Council accept these 4 donations to install benches in Billings area parks totaling $6,355.
