EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept a donation from the Freedom Memorial Foundation of Naples, Florida
Inc., for the remaining 23 state stones and a plaque, and to be installed at the Freedom Memorial
site.
OBJECTIVE: To accept a donation from the Freedom Memorial Foundation of Naples, Florida Inc., for
the remaining 23 state stones and a plaque acknowledging the receipt of a monetary donation from two
donors.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Freedom Memorial is located in a dedicated area within Freedom Par k, to
allow citizens to remember the tragedy of September 11, 2001. The Memorial includes a thirteen -foot-tall
granite flag monument set atop a granite map of the United States, a series of state stones surrounded by a
pathway of engraved bricks in the shape of a pentagon that are purchased by citizens, along with various
dedication plaques.
The Freedom Memorial Foundation of Naples, Florida, Inc., a not -for-profit organization, has recently
received two donations in the amount of $20,000 each ($40,000 in total). The Foundation has decided to
utilize the donated funding towards the purchase of the remaining 23 state stones (the 27 that are
presently there, were created and installed when the memorial was first made). The stones will be
purchased from the same quarry from which the original 27 stones were purchased.
Also, the Foundation would like to create and have installed at the site, a plaque recognizing a list of
recent donors, whose generous contributions assisted in the completion of the State stones. A graphic of
the proposed plaque is included as part of the back-up.
The stones and the plaque will be installed at the site by Collier County Facilities Maintenance staff.
They will work with the Foundation volunteer staff, as to where the stones and the plaque are to be
installed.
FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated value of the stones to be donated by the Freedom Memorial
Foundation of Naples, Florida, Inc., is $30,000. The stones will be installed by Facilities Management
personnel at an estimated County cost of $3,500. Maintenance costs are not expected to be materially
increased by the donated stones.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: To accept a donation from the Freedom Memorial Foundation of Naples,
Florida, Inc., for the remaining 23 state stones, and a plaque acknowledging the receipt of a monetary
donation from two donors. The state stones and the plaque, once accepted, to be installed at the Freedom
Memorial site.
