Resolution 97-1: Lawn Displays
WHEREAS, the 1997 DeKalb County Commissioners have reviewed
the displays on fifty feet of the nonpublic DeKalb County
Courthouse lawn, Auburn, Indiana,
WHEREAS, after due consideration of the law and prior findings
of fact the 1997 DeKalb County Commissioners conclude that the
aesthetical, environmental and economical criteria as applied to
the 1996 DeKalb County Courthouse lawn displays result in the
wisest decision to not allow any displays on the Courthouse lawn
and to allow an alternative site on property used by DeKalb
County for displays,
WHEREAS, an alternative site of property used by DeKalb County
is available containing about six feet wide grass area of
nonpublic property along Union Street between 10th and 11th
Streets, Auburn, Indiana, east of the DeKalb County Office
Building parking lot, in DeKalb County, Indiana,
NOW THEREFORE, the 1997 DeKalb County Commissioners reaffirms
that the DeKalb County Courthouse lawn at Auburn, Indiana is
nonpublic property, and, based upon aesthetical, environmental
and economical criteria, no nongovernmental display shall be
allowed on the DeKalb County Courthouse lawn;
and the 1997 DeKalb County Commissioners find and declare
that, pursuant to findings of law and fact attached hereto and
made a part hereof, an alternative site for displays under
restriction detailed shall be allowed at property used by DeKalb
County containing about a six feet wide grass area of nonpublic
property along Union Street between 10th and 11th Streets,
Auburn, Indiana, east of the DeKalb County Office Building
parking lot, in DeKalb County, Indiana;
and further find that the 1997 joint request for a nativity
scene display by the County Line Church of God and the
Evangelical St. Andrews Presbyterian Church is allowed at the
nonpublic alternative site along Union Street between 10th and
11th Streets in Auburn, Indiana, at such time as the joint
applicant determines consistent with the 1997 restrictions for
displays.
Approved this 6th day of January, 1997 by the DeKalb County
Commissioners.
