Correspondence from Dave Burton, Co-Chairman Old Murray School Bell Tower Project. 2. Plaque mock-up 3. Site Plan of Heritage Center RECOMMENDATION: t,Q~f~Approve the installation of a plaque and flagpole at the Dublin ~'5~. ,'~'- Heritage Center. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: There is no cost to the City for purchase or installation of the plaque or flagpole. DESCRIPTION: As part of the Capital Improvement Program 2002-2007 the City Council approved the construction of a duplicate of the original bell tower and bell replacement on the Murray Schoolhouse located at the Dublin Heritage Center. The Dublin Rotary Club and the Dublin Historical Preservation Association initiated a fundraising campaign to provide matching funds for the project and the Dublin Women's Club committed funds for the purchase of the bell. These community groups along with numerous private donors have committed close to $30,000 to the City for the restoration of the bell tower and replacement of the bell. In a letter received from Project Co-Chairman, Dave Burton (Attachment 1), the Dublin Rotary Club has committed an additional $5,000 for a bronze plaque mounted on a monument. The plaque lists all the donors that donated $100.00 Or more to the Bell Tower Project as a way of thanking them for their contribution (Attachment 2). The dimensions of the plaque are 2' x 3' and will be inset into a concrete stand approximately 2' wide and 3' height angled at approximately a 45 degree angle. The location for the monument preferred by the Rotary Club and acceptable to Staff is in the landscaped area to the fight of the Murray Schoolhouse marked on the map (Attachment 3). The letter also discusses the donation of a flagpole by the Dublin Historical Preservation Association. While the details of this donation have not yet been worked out, Staff does not anticipate any costs to the City for the flagpole and will work with DHPA on the design and location of the flagpole. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission has considered the request and approved the concept of the plaque donation and installation at the Dublin Heritage Center. RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of Staff that the City Council approve the installation of a plaque and flagpole at the Dublin Heritage Center.
