Home My WebLink About16- Donor and Partner Recognition Statement - The Trust for Public Land - Story Mill Community ParkStory Mill Community Park Donor and Partner Recognition Statement The Story Mill Community Park ("SMCP") is a 60 -acre natural -area park located in northeast Bozeman, intended to serve Bozeman and the greater Gallatin Valley community. SMCP is being developed jointly by The Trust for Public Land ("TPL") and the City of Bozeman ("City"). SMCP will be owned and operated by the City and, as such, is and will be subject to the rules, regulations, policies, and processes of the City. TPL is an independent, non-profit public benefit corporation, and has entered into an agreement with the City to manage the design and construction of SMCP. As part of this effort, TPL is conducting a campaign to secure privately -raised funds to supplement the City's Trails, Open Space and Park bond monies, as well as other funds, which are financing the design and construction of SMCP. Donor recognition at SMCP is intended to reflect the comprehensive and invested community input that has created SMCP. TPL and the City will be positioned as the key partners in SMCP, with other financial supporters of SMCP receiving appropriate recognition as described in this Statement. Several key features of SMCP will be offered as opportunities for specific donor recognition at leadership levels of $50,000 or more. In addition, all donors of $10,000 or more will be recognized in a central feature of SMCP such as a donor wall. The form that donor recognition takes will be designed to complement SMCP's natural design and community appeal. This Statement summarizes the guidelines and procedures that TPL and the City have agreed to for recognizing donors at SMCP. 1. Recognition of TPL and -the City TPL and the City shall be recognized for their roles as the co -lead developers of SMCP, including mention in appropriate print materials and on-site signage. TPL's logo or logotype will be included with the City's logo on all appropriate recognition and interpretation signage at SMCP. TPL shall also be recognized with the Entry Plaza naming opportunity. 2. Logos No corporate logos, brands, insignias, or direct advertising text may be used as part of any name association or naming opportunity feature at SMCP except for TPL and the City as provided for above. At the joint discretion of the City and TPL, the financial or other support of non- corporate organizations and entities may be acknowledged with logos or logotype on select interpretive signs and associated materials at SMCP.

Accepting Naming Gifts All gifts solicited and received by TPL for SMCP that are eligible for a naming opportunity at SMCP must meet the requirements of TPL's Gift Acceptance Policy, a copy of which is attached to this Statement and hereby incorporated by this reference, as well as the provisions of this Statement. Any gift offered to and accepted by TPL which qualifies for, and is explicitly identified as being made in anticipation of a naming opportunity must be memorialized in a written agreement signed by the donor and TPL. 4. Changed Circumstances, Re -Naming, Removing Names Once named in recognition of a donor, features of SMCP will retain that name indefmitely unless and until such time as there is a substantial change in circumstances, such as the removal of the named feature from SMCP. In such cases, the donor will receive appropriate continued name recognition in connection with another comparable feature of SMCP as determined by TPL and the City in the spirit of the donor's original gift. TPL will make every reasonable effort to notify donors in these instances. TPL and the City reserve the right to refuse any requests by a donor to change the name of a SMCP feature once the name is in place. For any name change request to be undertaken, the donor must pay all costs related to executing the requested name change. Naming opportunities shall be limited to the name of individuals or entities that exemplify the attributes of integrity, character, and leadership consistent with the highest values of TPL and the City. The City and TPL may jointly agree to remove a donor's or honoree's name at any time if these values are not met. 5. Standards The SMCP Master Plan shall include a City -approved Donor Recognition Plan detailing standards for the design, materials, placement, and installation for all donor recognition features at SMCP, which standards shall ensure consistency with other signage and the design of the SMCP in general, complement the surroundings, and ensure that donor recognition features do not interfere with the use, enjoyment or aesthetics of surrounding SMCP amenities. Signage shall be placed in a prominent location near the applicable SMCP structure or feature. Materials used in donor recognition features shall be of high quality, vandalism resistant, and able to withstand harsh environments. TPL shall provide the City with the original artwork and fabrication specifications for all donor recognition features for City approval. The selected name of any structure or feature shall appear in all officially -produced maps or representations of the SMCP, in press releases, public announcements or other publicity that refer to the applicable named structure or feature. The City will maintain all such signage and will replace or repair signage damaged or destroyed by vandalism or through natural causes such as fires or floods. Donor recognition features shall be designed and installed along with the construction of SMCP and shall be paid for with funds being provided by TPL for the design and construction of Page 2 of 4 Donor and Partner Recognition Statement for Stony Mill Community Park SMCP. All donor recognition features shall be the property of the City, and the maintenance, upkeep and replacement of such features shall be the responsibility of the City. 6.
