Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
Bench Donation Request
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission consider the
bench donation request at Cliff Drive Park, and provide direction regarding future
additional donated benches at Cliff Drive Park.
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.
