CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
r
TITLE: Adopt -A -Park Program
MEETING DATE: June 16, 1993
PREPARED BY: Parke and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council review the Adopt -A -Park concept,
and approve for implementation when the opportunity
arises.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Generally, this is our attempt to involve the community,
service clubs/organizations, businesses, individual
families or area interest groups in projects,
maintenance, neighborhood watch, etc., in various parks
and/or areas of same.
we heard a lot about adopt -a -park programs when we physically contacted other
cities, etc. They said they just get a group, organization, or whomever to do
projects or maintenance on an ongoing basis. Cur feeling is we want to do this
also, but to more commit whomever to an agreement with stipulations, tasks to be
done, projects to be completed, controls on same, and a period of time for said
agreement. Therefore, the attached (Exhibit A) is said agreement.
This concept and agreement has been approved by the Parke and Recreation
commission and suggested it be moved on to the Council for adoption. It is hoped
with this now in place and the publicity from same, plus our efforts to market
the concept, we will get inquiries into this program and some adopt -a -park
programs will come about.
Recognition for various groups, organizations, businesses, etc., would be by park
signage, much like the State of California program. We would indicate Adopt -A -
Park and the party adopting said park.
FUNDING: I would suggest as a group/organization is interested in
adopting a park, that recognition by sign be done at a
place visual to the public (like the State program) - a
sign designating the program and who has adopted the
park, facility, or area. Cost per sign would run about
$150.00 to 5250.00. We would only ask for this money
upon adoption of a park. Funds would come from the
current park operating budget or through a special
allocation reque t.
