City Liaison Update
Update on the adopt-a-park
program – Allyson met with Mitch again to discuss the program details. She asks advisory board for support of idea from Ohio where Advisory Boards play a leadership role in the concept.
Advisory board would help get out the idea to the public. The program would be a year contract with a set “start-date”. Terry likes the contract idea, William suggests that we could
help getting the program started with a handful of parks we feel need attention. We also have a few to begin with that are already “adopted.” Charlotte would like to see the research
done on how involved the current groups are before moving forward. They can be the kick-off for the program and getting input from those groups. Allyson also mentions that every property
is different and each contract is different.
So, what is the next step? A committee will be formed with involvement from this advisory board and possibly others? Allyson suggests
we re-group after Clean-Up Day and go from there.
Allyson to bring a list of parks to next meeting and where the city is already committed so we can determine where the focus locations
are? Are there some particular parks in mind that this program would be most successful?
