SUBJECT ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT FROM STREAMS AND VALLEYS COMMITTEE FOR TREE WATERING
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
~
Manager to:
It 'is recommended that the City Council authorize the City
1. Accept a gift in the amount of $5,600.00 from the Streams and Valleys Committee,
Inc. for tree watering services, and
~.
2. Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Special Trust Fund in the amount of $5,600.00.
DISCUSSION:
The Streams and Valleys Committee, Inc. has proposed to donate to the City of Fort
Worth approximately $5,600.00 for the watering of trees planted for Streams and
Valleys. The Forestry section of the Park and Recreation Department has in the past
provided this service as an expenditure from the annual operating budget. With present
and projected budget constraints, the Department anticipates the tree watering program
could be severely reduced or eliminated.
It is proposed that Streams and Valleys fund a part-time water truck operator (an
individual holding a Class "A" Commercial Driver's License with a Tank Vehicle
Endorsement) to irrigate trees planted under their annual tree program. This person
would work about 700 hours per year depending upon climatic conditions and natural
rainfall. This would result in an annual expense of approximately $5,600.00 by Streams
and Valleys to water 200 trees weekly during the dry months.
The Park and Recreation Department would assume the role of supervision and monitoring
and would continue to incur the expense of vehicle maintenance. In return the water
truck would be available 10% of the time to water trees planted at other locations.
This item was reviewed and approved by the Park and Recreation Advisory Board on August
18, 1992, with the following motion:
" a motion .... to approve staff's recommendation to accept the donation of the
watering truck and forward the endorsement to the City Council for their
consideration."
