INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM �[."'�"''''�k: f;"',"',
.
September 3, 1987 .
T0: City Council President Nicosia and Council Members
FROM: Robert P. Piram ���
SUBJECT: Endangered Monuments
Last Spring the Division of Parks and Recreation was contacted by Judy
Yaeger Jones, State Coordinator of Minnesota Women's History Month Inc.
She informed us that Rice Park was once the site of a monument
dedicated to the memory of Miss Eva Jones, a loyal member of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union. This monument originally installed
in 1922 was a 7-foot public drinking fountain with an electric globe on
its crown.
Needless to say, the fountain is no longer in Rice Park and after many
weeks of research, Ms. Yaeger Jones has not been able to find out what
happened to the fountain. That is why she approached our Division.
Minnesota Women's History Month, Inc. believes that the City needs a
procedure for regulating and restoring of monuments located throughout
the City.
The Division of Parks and Recreation agrees, so we worked closely with
Ms. Yaeger Jones to develop a resolution, policy and procedures for
preserving, restoring and recording all existing and newly placed
monuments and plaques located on Public property in St. Paul . These
documents are attached.
Minnesota Women's History Month Inc. , Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and the Lutheran Brotherhood have jointly purchased a
commemorative marker in honor of Miss Eva Jones. This marker will be
placed in Rice Park and dedicated on Se�tetnber 26, 1987. We hope this
resolution will be passed by the dedication, so that a public
announcement can be made during the ceremony.
If you would like additional information or have questions concerning
our proposed policy and procedures, or Miss Eva Jones please feel free
to contact me.

COMMEMORATIVE MONUMENTS AND PLAQUES
POLICY
The City of Saint Paul desires to recognize the contributions of all
individuals and organizations to the City of Saint Paul and ensure that
monuments, plaques and other physical evidence commemorating the
contributions of individuals and groups be preserved for future
generations.
PROCEDURES
l . All existing monuments and plaques in commemoration, located on
park property in Saint Paul , shall be inventoried between 1987 and
1992 by the Saint Paul Division of Parks and Recreation.
2. Those monuments and plaques that require repairs will be brought to
the attention of the group or persons who originally placed them or
if that group or persons are unavailable to a similar group that
might be interested in restoring or replacing them.
3. Groups interested in placing a monument or plaque on park land to
recognize contributions of an organization or individual must
submit a proposal to the Division of Parks and Recreation on how
that particular individual or organization served the public and
what ties to City interests exist.
4. The Division of Parks and Recreation must review and approve all
proposals for conformance to design criteria and suitability and
compatibility to the surrounding park before new monuments and
plaques are placed in areas. If requested, the Design Section will
assist groups with design specifications.
5. Groups placing new monuments or plaques in park areas should
provide historical documents, photographs and contact information
to the Saint Paul Division of Parks and Recreation for inclusion in
records.
6. Groups placing new commemorative items in park areas will be
