In accordance with the Section 3.28-3.33 of the Policies of the City Council, prior to any distribution of grant or sponsorship funds from the City Council Discretionary Funds, approval by City Council is required.
The P.A.I.N. Memorial Garden will be an area in the Corinne Jones Park dedicated to victims of street violence mostly that resulted in the death of a young person. It will be an area whereby parents or loved ones can go, sit and reflect on their lost loved ones. The Parks and Recreation will have oversight of this project and the funding will be used for the purchase of materials to fund this memorial garden.
