"CITY OF CORONA
NOTICE OF INTENT
TO REMOVE AND DISCARD
TEMPORARY MEMORIAL
(CMC CHAPTER 12.18)
In order to provide an avenue to memorialize or pay tribute to victims of tragic accidents, while at the same time helping to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community, temporary memorials are permitted on public property for up to 30 calendar days from the date on which the first item is placed. Thereafter, all items are considered abandoned, become the property of the City and may be removed and disposed of in any manner in the City's sole discretion.
Persons who place any item at a temporary memorial are unequivocally indicating that they do not intend to retain the item and that it may be discarded by the City. The City shall not be responsible for the loss or theft of any item placed at a temporary memorial.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on or after date ("Removal Date"), the City will remove and dispose of all items that comprise or are a part of this temporary memorial. Any person who wishes to recover any item that comprises or is a part of this temporary memorial should remove such item prior to the Removal Date. Items remaining after the Removal Date shall be considered abandoned, shall become the property of the City and may be removed and disposed of in any manner in the City's sole discretion."
The City Manager is authorized to approve revisions to this notice, so long as the notice remains consistent with the terms of this chapter.
