Sec. 5-4. Memorial plantings.
   In memory of persons buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, friends and relatives of the deceased may have the opportunity to place a memorial planting on the grounds of the cemetery, as long as the following guidelines are met:
   (1)   The planting desired by the sponsoring individual or group must receive prior approval from city officials as to species of tree and location and date for the planting.
   (2)   All costs for the tree and its planting are the responsibility of the sponsor. Whether the sponsor or city personnel plants the tree shall be at the discretion of city officials.
   (3)   The sponsor, through signing this form, releases the city and its employees from any responsibility for upkeep and survival of the memorial planting, including watering, trimming, fertilizing, and weeding.
   (4)   If, in the opinion of city officials, the memorial tree needs to be relocated or cut down for any reason, such action may be taken by the city without notice to the sponsor. If the tree is cut down, the sponsor may have the option of requesting another planting under the same terms as specified in this form.
   (5)   A plaque, engraved marker, or other recognition of the deceased which the sponsor may desire to have placed at the planting site must be approved by city officials. Such markers may not exceed six (6) inches by twelve (12) inches or seventy-two (72) square inches, must not protrude above ground level, and should be made of metal, rock, or other equally durable material.
