DESCRIPTION: At the January 5th meeting, the City Council heard an oral
presentation from Shaun Fontaine, a prospective Eagle Scout, who presented a proposal to the City for a
memorial honoring Dublin Police Officer John Paul Monego who was killed in the line of duty on
December 12, 1998. Shaun Fontaine said there would be no cost to the City and funds forthe project
would be derived from donations. The City Council fonned an adhoc committee comprised of
Councilmembers Beth Howard and Claudia McConnick, and City Staff, to work with Shaun Fontaine to
design a memorial and to identify a location for its placement.
A location for the memorial has been identified and it has been deemed an ideal location by virtue of its
proximity to the entrance to City offices which will allow visual access to all visitors entering the Civic
Center complex. This area is situated adjacent to the curb along Civic Plaza in front of the building and is
approximately 12'x16' in size which is adequate for the memorial and plantings. The plantings will consist
of approximately 20 Day Lilly's, 10 Fortnight Lilly's and White Evening Prim Rose as ground cover. The
soil will be covered with shredded redwood.
The memorial will be 2'4"x1'4"xl0", sloping from top to bottom, and composed of granite with a 2'xl'
bronze plaque affixed to it. Additionally, there will be a granite base that will measure 2'8"xl '2"x5" which
the memorial will rest upon. The bronze plaque will bear replicas of the Alameda County Sheriff's Office
badge and City of Dublin logo in addition to the appropriate verbiage. The dimensions for the memorial
vary slightly from the attached project description; these modifications were necessitated due to the
unavailability of granite to match the original measurements without excessive costs.
The time line for the project is as follows: ordering of granite and bronze plaque the week of April
19,1999, (8 weeks delivery); project commences on or about July 3,1999; project concludes on or about
July 24, 1999; anticipated dedication on or about August 7, 1999.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Describe the project you plan to do
For my Eagle Project I plan to construct a memorial to honor Deputy John
Monego. Deputy Monego was killed in the line of duty on December 12, 1998.
This memorial would consist of a stone marker with a memorial plaque surrounded
by a small garden. I have developed the garden landscaping plan in conjunction
with the City Maintenance Superintendent. Modification to the sprinklers and
lighting will not be needed.
I have been refelTed to a city sub committee, to carry out this project. I will
solicit donations of materials from local businesses and other organizations. I am
. planning to rely on Boy Scouts from my troop for labor to complete my Eagle
Project.

My project will be of benefit to the group because:
My project will benefit the City and citizens of Dublin by providing a
memorial to Deputy Monego. Since the proposed location is at the entrance to
both City Hall and the Police Station, my project will be a way to remember and
honor Deputy Monego and also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices and risks that
officers may experience while protecting our community. By drawing together,
organizing, and involving other commWlity organizations: I hope to bring some
positive and more meaningful outcome to this tragic event.

Current Condition of Area:
The area has existing landscaping which will need to be removed. I will
first spray the area with a weed/plant killer to prevent the existing landscaping
from growing up into the new landscaping and to kill any weeds present in the
area. I will then remove 2~3 inches of material from the planter.

fall-back weeks to complete my project if we have not finished by the proposed
schedule. I will solicit donations during the spring and early swmner. Several
people who have learned of my project have already offered their help. The city
requires this project to be completed by August 19, 1999.

SAFETY HAZARDS
In my project, I am planning for minor safety hazards: I will be dealing
with landscaping materials (shovels, rakes, hoes, etc.) therefor the safety hazards
are minimal. On Day I: there will be a use of weed and plant killer; to prevent any
injuries the task of spraying the weed/plant killer will only be penormed by myself
under parent supervision. I will also wear protective clothing and a mask. By
eliminating other scouts in this area, I will minimize risk to others. Most of the
other days I will organize the boys in age, responsibility, and strength to catTy out
the different aspects of my project. During the other days there might be a risk of
somebody getting hit with a shovel, pick, etc~ To minimize these types of injuries
I will only have a few boys inside the area at any time. These boys will be trained
in knife and ax safety. I will also supply punch and snacks during the project to
minimize dehydration and exhaustion (considering project will be taking place in
July). One serious safety hazard is the fact there is an electrical outlet box present
in the area. To prevent any injuries caused by this electrical box, I will make sure
that the City has turned the power off to this box.
I feel that if I have the right people doing the right things I can eliminate
most of the hazards within my project. There will always be parental supervision
and a First Aid Kit and my Eagle Project Site.
