7.0. PRSR 03-03-1993 ITEM 7 .
icy of TO: PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
lkRiver FROM: PHILIP HALS, STREET/PARK SUPT.
DATE: FEBRUARY 25, 1993
SUBJECT: ADOPT A PARK PROGRAM
City' s throughout the metro area are using an Adopt a Park
program, similar to the MnDOT Adopt a Highway program. The
only cost to the City would be the cost of signs that would
publicize the organization that adopted the park. These signs
would cost about $125 per park.
I would not envision asking volunteers to mow grass, prune
trees, or rake leaves, but volunteers could certainly collect
litter, pull weeds, or paint equipment. Tasks would have to be
age appropriate for the adopting organization.
