Date: March 6, 1990
To: The Honorable Mayor and Council Members _
From: Charles G. Gomez, City Manager
By: Gerald W. Forde, Acting Administrative Assistant to
the City Manager
Subject: DONATION IN LIEU OF FLOWERS - IN MEMORY OF MARION MADDEN
Obiective
Marion Madden, a member of the Community Affairs Commission
passed away on February 5, 1990. Traditionally the City Council
donates flowers in memory of the deceased members of the
commission during services. However, the family of the deceased
has establish a memorial fund in her memory and would greatly
appreciate if the City Council would consider donating the
amount of 5100.00 dollars in lieu of flowers to her designated
charity.
Given that this is a monetary request and is not a normal
procedure, it therefore would require City Council approval for
process.
If Council wishes to approve this procedure, staff suggests that I
a policy be established for similar requests to avoid additional
agenda items.
�
Recommendation ,
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Lynwood ��
1) approve the payment of $100 to the Marion Madden Memorial
I
Fund; and 2) approve a policy establishing that donations up to
5100 be made to appropriate memorial or charity of bereaved ;
upon request by the deceased's family. This would apply in cases '
where the city would normally send flowers (deaths, illnesses of '
Council members, Commissioners or Board Members).
