Mgr. 1 Dept.
Authorization
REQUEST: The Rotary Club of Winter Springs requesting the City Commission to
consider entering into a partnership with Rotary to construct a Veterans Memorial to
honor Winter Springs veterans.
PURPOSE:
This agenda item is needed for the Commission to determine if it desires to enter into a
partnership with the Rotary Club of Winter Springs to construct a memorial for Winter Springs
veterans.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Many cities have Veterans Memorials to honor their city's veterans.
The Rotary Club of Winter Springs has been tasked by its National Headquarters to adopt a
community project for its 2004 Centennial Year Celebration of the founding of the Rotary Club.
The project must break ground in 2004 to be in compliance with the Centennial Policy
Conditions.
Earlier this year when the news that U.S. Army Lt. Co!. Charles H. Buehring of Winter Springs
was killed in action in Iraq, Rotary realized that there was no Veterans Memorial in Winter
Springs.

At that time, Rotary communicated with the City Manager regarding the idea of Rotary and the
City forming a partnership to construct a memorial. It was recommended by the City Manager
that the memorial be in the Town Center, due to its civic nature.
At this point the project is in the idea phase. Much has to be done. City approval has to be
finalized. Plans have to be developed. Coordination with Veterans Associations has to be
initiated and carried out.
Rotary would like to enter into a partnership in which the City would share the cost. A fifty-fifty
partnership has been suggested.
FUNDING:
Since a design concept has not been established, cost estimates have not been done. For
planning purposes a cost of $50,000 has been established over a two or three year period.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission consider entering into a partnership with the Rotary
Club of Winter Springs to construct a Veterans Memorial in the City.
If this is not acceptable, to suggest what other projects may be acceptable to the Commission.
