THE CITY EMPLOYEES’ MEMORIAL
AT BOB HENRY PARK
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Memorial site at Bob Henry Park is to honor City of Newport Beach
employees who have lost their lives in the performance of their public service duties.
This policy establishes the criteria and procedures for honoring an employee at the
Memorial site.
POLICY
The Memorial site is located at Bob Henry Park, which was named after Newport Beach
Police Officer Bob Henry who was mortally wounded in the line of duty on March 12,
1995. The Memorial honors Officer Henry and all City employees who gave their lives
in the direct performance of their duties while serving the citizens of Newport Beach.
PROCEDURE
A6 Department Directors shall submit recommendations to so honor an employee to
the City Manager for initial evaluation. The recommendation shall include a
history of the employee’s tenure with the City, the circumstances surrounding
his or her death, the work-related duties being performed at the time of death,
and the actions which led to the employee’s death.
To be honored at the Memorial site, an employee’s death must be directly
attributable to his/her scope of employment and have occurred in the
performance of his or her authorized duties. If the circumstances surrounding an
employee’s duty-related death are not readily apparent, the City Manager may
appoint a committee of at least three Department Directors (excluding the
affected employee’s department) to more thoroughly evaluate the
recommendation for inclusion, to determine whether death is directly
attributable to the employee’s performance of his/her duties.
The Committee will make a final recommendation to the City Manager whether
an employee should be honored at the Memorial site at Bob Henry Park. The
City Manager will have final authority to approve or reject inclusion at the
Memorial.
