The Village may require a deposit sufficient to cover anticipated costs.

18. PAYMENT DOES NOT GUARANTEE APPROVAL

Payment of any fee, donation or estimated cost shall not constitute approval of an
application.

No applicant shall acquire a right to a memorial, location, tree species, bench design,
plaque wording or other Village property by virtue of payment.

If an application is denied, the Village shall determine the disposition of any funds
previously deposited in accordance with the applicable fee schedule and any agreement
with the applicant.

All memorial trees and benches shall be installed by the Village or by a contractor
authorized by the Village.

Applicants shall not independently install, remove, modify, repair or relocate a memorial
on Village property.

The Village shall determine the timing of installation.

Memorial trees shall generally be planted during periods considered appropriate for long-
term tree survival and establishment, as determined by the Department of Public Works.

20. OWNERSHIP

Upon installation on Village-owned property or within a Village right-of-way, the memorial
tree, bench, plaque and associated improvements shall become and remain the property
