All, <br /> Here is a proposed revision to the Commemorative Plaque Policy that I am suggesting for <br /> consideration tonight. I did discuss the changes with the Manager to make sure they were <br /> technically correct. The changes from the version in the agenda packet include the following: <br /> In section 2-a-ii - To the list of characteristics included on the plaque are added the date and <br /> the names of any former Commissioners in office at the time the project was approved. <br /> Deleted is the reference to unveiling, since staff said that was acceptable. <br /> In sections 2-b-ii and 2-c-ii, it is indicated that the size would be approximately 24" x 24" or <br /> larger (if appropriate). <br /> Alice Gordon <br /> Given below is the revised commemorative plaque policy, with the changes approved by the <br /> Board. These changes include the revisions proposed by Commissioner Gordon, and also a <br /> change which specifies the use of the County seal instead of the Board approved County logo. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY POLICY FOR CRAFTING AND INSTALLING COMMEMORATIVE <br /> PLAQUES FOR COUNTY OWNED BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES <br /> The following policy (and related procedures) shall apply to the crafting and installation <br /> of commemorative plaques honoring County owned facilities. <br /> 1.

The following commemorative plaque characteristics shall be required: <br /> a. General characteristics for all commemorative plaques: <br /> i.
