City of San Jos�, California COUNCIL POLICY TITLE MONUMENT POLICY PAGE POLICY NUMBER 1 of 8 9-14 � EFFECTIVE DATE March 23, 2010 REVISED DATE APPROVED BY COUNCIL ACTION 3/23/2010, Item 9.1(a), Res. No. 75316; SECTION I. PURPOSE AND INTRODUCTION The City may, from time to time, decide to install permanent outdoor Monuments on City property to provide the City's commemoration ofpersons or events of note, or to otherwise convey the City's position on various topics("referred to as "Government Speech"). By placing Monuments on City property, the Gity intends only to engage in government speech and does not intend to open a public forum for free speech activity. Thepurpose of this Policy is to establish criteria and guidelines for the consideration and installation of Monuments outdoors in parks or plazas deemed by the City to be appropriate to serve as the site for a Monument. In doing so, the City recognizes the following considerations: ❑ Monuments can convey a powerful connection between San Jos� and its history, and in some instances its future. ❑ It is therefore important that the placement of Monuments be limited to circumstances of the highest community-wide importance, both to maintain the signficance of such Monuments and to minimize conflicts with the active and variable use of pu6lic spaces. Nohvithstanding the foregoing,the City may decide, in its sole discretion, to reject a proposal for a Monument and/or may determine the appropriate site for any and all City Monuments. SECTION 11. MONUMENT DEFINITION "Monuments"are markers, statues and other similar permanent installations to express Govemment Speech, as further described in this policy,and which are installed by the Gity on City property, or which are accepted by the City and installed on City property with City permission. Monuments may be in various forms including statues, fountains, or gardens among other forms of monuments as determined by the City. Monuments must be of Ciry approved materials,size, design and specifications,with a goal toward simplifying their review and long-term care. \ TITLE MONUMENT POLICY PAGE POLICY NUMBER 2 of 8 9-14 SECTION III. GOVERNMENT SPEECH ON MONUAAENTS Citv's Government Soeeeh Tooics The City may install or accept Gity-approved Monuments on City property as a form of "Government Speech"as City recognition of significant events or people or to provide information from the City on topics:approved by the City; as set forth below: • The contributions of individuals or groups vuho made a sutistantial impact upon the City of San Jose or Santa Clara County; • The City's position on topics ofinterest to the community, as determined by City Council; • The history of San Jose, Califomia, or of the United States; •. Nistorical or cultural influences on San Jose; • Native flora, fauna and wildlife of San Jose and the greater Bay area; • Local innovation or creativity that has contributed to San Jose`s growth and ptosperity; or • Other criteria selected by City Council and set forth in an amendment to this Policy. The City shall not place Monuments on City property which have the purpose of promoting, favoring or inhibiting any religion or which would appear to a reasonable person that the City is promoting, favoring, or opposing a religion. SECTION N.ADMINISTRATION The City Manager may approve or deny monument proposals and may enact administrative guidelines and procedures to implement this Policy, including without limitation, designation of locations deemed amenable to Monuments. The City Managershall aiso designate the lead Department for Monumentslocated on City property. Notwithstanding that certain City property is operated or managed by:a_private operator pursuant to an agreement,the evaluator of the Monument and the final decision maker shall be the City and not the private operator or managec The Director of the lead Department shall coordinate with the Director of Public Art with regard to any Monumen4that is primarily Public Art, asfurther described below. SECTION V. DONATED AND PRIVATE FUNDING OF MONUMENTS The City encourages private donations to the City to support variousCity programs and City operations,which may include without limitation, the cost of acquisition, installation and maintenance of Monuments on City property.The City prefers to receive private donations in the form of funds that may be used by the City to review, design, fabricate, acquire, install TITLE MONUMENT POLICY PAGE POLICY NUMBER 3 of 8 9-14 and/or maintain Monuments, rather than the donation of a completed Monument. However, the City may from time to time, at City's sole option, consider accepting a completed Monument as a form of Government Speech, provided that the Monument meets the City's approved Government Speech topics and also meets all of the other criteria set forth in this Policy and in any related administrative guidelines or procedures. After City's acceptance of a Monument and subject to City's explicit approval of installation of the Monument upon City property, title to the Monument shall vest with City and the City may remove, relocate and shall othenvise have sole control over the Monument. While the City appreciates donations of Monuments to the City, the City is under no obligation to accept any donated Monument even if the Monument meets all of the criteria set forth in the Policy. The City's decision to accept a donated Monument may also depend upon the cost to the City or Redevelopment Agency of design, fabrication, installation and mairrtenance of the Monument and site considerations, among other factors. The City may, at its option, decide for budgetary reasons to prioritize Monuments where the City expects to receive donated funding to cover the cost of design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of the Monument. Unless otherwise agreed by Ciry Council, the donor of.a proposed Monument is responsible forproviding the City with funds to cover the cost of review, design,fabrication, installation and maintenance to ensure adequate care for the Monument.

If there is a doubt regarding the appropriate commission, the City Manager shall determine the appropriate commission for review of the proposal.

The Monument proposal has been through community outreach conducted by the group or person suggesting that the City install the Monument, and that the installation and ` maintenance of the Monument is within the priorRies of the work plan of the responsible DepBrtment. Outreach should inform the community that this Policy only authorizes one Monumen4 to honor a particular event, person or topic: The community outreach should be consistent with the outreach condueted for similar City projects.
