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."
