Discussion City Council Policy B -17 establishes criteria for parks, facilities, and recreation program donations within the City. The policy is structured to establish a fair and uniform procedure for making gifts to the City, and to make the donation process easier for staff and donors. The City has received a request from Sandra Rayl (Attachment A) to donate a bench at Cliff Drive Park. The donated bench (Attachment B) is included on the City's Official Bench List. Attachment C shows the location of the proposed bench donation. Since the value of the bench with a new concrete pad (to place the bench on) is greater than $1,000.00, the donation is eligible to receive a dedicatory plaque that will be placed on the bench. The submitted plaque verbiage, which complies with City Council Policy B -17, is "Donated for Marian and Gerry Rayl ". There are currently 5 dedicated benches with dedicatory plaques at Cliff Drive Park. Staff reviewed this Park for additional bench donation sites, and feels that the Park may have now reached full capacity for future bench donations. Once this donation is considered, staff recommends that this site be closed to any future additional bench donations, and asks the Commission to provide direction in this regard. Ms. Rayl, and Council Member Steven Rosansky have received a copy of this report and a notice of the Commission meeting. Additionally, as per the Council Policy B -17, all adjacent property owners within 300 feet of the donation site were also notified of the Commission meeting. r� U • • Mark Harmon Attachments: (A) Ms. Rayl's Gifts for Tomorrow Order Request Form (B) Santa Monica bench style picture (C) Picture of the proposed location n U • a a s t U IZO k M d NI Rio I ' i 0 O N V. r,�atin�lsod 0-01W E616LOL8181 LZ-Si SOOZ1601Zt 2 v`a w a V. r,�atin�lsod 0-01W E616LOL8181 LZ-Si SOOZ1601Zt � r mow. 1 Air It l .ly — 'f.;ik a ♦� Yfu T-er s r. „.. °;ir _ tS �� 0 0 0
