Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />August 13th, 2014 <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />they are on concrete footings. Ember said the stone benches are actually more <br />affordable than the black metal benches. The City will reserve the right to move them. <br />Helen asked about ADA issues, and Ember said that they tried to select sites where <br />there wouldn't be any. The board discussed issues like bench clutter, number of <br />benches allowed per family, what kind of language would be allowed on benches (e.g. <br />do people will need to avoid overtly religious inscriptions on publicly -owned land ?). <br />Maintenance issues were also discussed. If the bench is damaged, who pays? Should <br />the arrangement have a sunset date? Tom suggested that a 25 year sunset date might <br />be reasonable. Linda thought that people who wanted longer sunset periods should be <br />able to pay for them. Jeff explained that the CU campus does similar projects and <br />people can chose to pay for longer sunset periods, and the maintenance issues make <br />them cost more than they initially seem. Helen summarized by saying that OSAB <br />supports the concept, the bench types, and using pre- determined locations, and next <br />steps will involve additional work on rules, time periods, regulations, and policy. <br />XII.
