svssscT ACCEPTANCE OF DONATION FROM STREAMS AND VALLEYS, INC FOR TREE
WATERING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to
1 Accept a gift of 55,600 00 from Streams and Valleys, Inc for tree watering services, and
2 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Special Trust Fund by 55,600 00 from increased revenue, and
3 Approve the expenditure of 55,600 00 in the Special Trust Fund for the purpose of funding
the operations, maintenance and equipment related to tree watering services
DISCUSSION
The Streams and Valleys Committee, Inc. has agreed to donate 55,600 00 for the purpose of
continuing the funding for apart-time water truck operator to water trees planted by Streams and
Valleys The scope of work and the duties were established by a letter of agreement between
the Park and Recreation Department (PARD) and Streams and Valleys, Inc in November of 1992
The agreement provides a water truck operator who is responsible for watering 200 trees planted
by Streams and Valleys In exchange for providing supervision and vehicle maintenance, the
PARD can use the truck and operator 10% of the time to water trees at other locations in the
City
This arrangement has been very beneficial in the past for both parties Proper watering by the
part-time operator in FY 199.2-93 resulted in a 95% success rate for newly planted trees on
Phase II of Streams and Valleys' Small Business Administration (SBA) Tree Planting Grant In
addition, the department was able to use the operator and truck to do emergency watering during
the drought of July and August, 1993 Continuing this agreement will provide continued
maintenance of SBA projects as required under the grant guidelines
On February 15, 1994, the Park and Recreation Advisory Board endorsed staff's recommendation
to City Council authorizing the City Manager to accept a gift in the amount of 55,600 00 from
Streams and Valleys, Inc for tree watering services
