Dear Marcy,
The past members of the Board of Newport Heights Community
Association would like to donate the sum of 4,-/03 0-O to the
City of Newport Heights for park beautification.
We would like the money to be used to enhance the slope
immediately adjacent to the tot lot facing westward in the
interior ravine of the Cliff Drive Park. The project would
involve planting bougainviiiea across the face of the slope
and planting the appropriate trees along the stream bed that
will beautify the park without interfering with harbor and
ocean views.
After a meeting with John Conway, he stated that the city
would grind the two stumps near the tot lot and plant five
to seven small flowering trees. We understand that planting
would occur during the appropriate weather and moisture
conditions.
We are looking forward to seeing the beautification of the
park, and we thank you for your participation and
cooperation.
Respectfully,
p� �iyriJr��
