RE: Veterans Memorial Ordinance
Introduction
In anticipation of the future construction of the City's Veterans Memorial, the City Council will
need to adopt an ordinance authorizing the construction of the future memorial, as is detailed in
the State Statute below:
Minn. Statute 416.01 MEMORIALS FOR VETERANS.
The governing body of any city of this state, however organized, may adopt an ordinance
providing for the erection, equipment, and maintenance of a building or monument or parks
in recognition of the services performed by soldiers, sailors, marines, and war veterans of
the United States. The ordinance may also provide for the supervision and control of the
building or monument or parks after its erection. The estimated cost, as determined by the
governing body, of the monument or parks or building must be stated in the minutes of the
meeting in which the ordinance is adopted and no sum shall be expended for the monument
park or building in an amount more than ten percent in excess of the amount so stated in
the minutes. The governing body of the city may acquire a site within the city upon which the
monument or parks or building may be erected.
Discussion
The construction of the monument must conform to the language underlined above.
�I
The Council has previously taken action to allow for the construction of a veteran's memorial
and this requested action brings the process into conformance with State Statute.
