FROM:
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Bench Donation
Recommendation
To accept two bench donations from the Balboa Island Improvement Association (BIIA),
one to be installed at Sapphire Avenue and South Bay Front and one to be installed at
Amethyst and North Bay Front.
Discussion
The Balboa Island Improvement Association has been donating teak benches for the
Island for the past several years. Ms. Peggy Marotta, the Association bench coordinator,
submits the bench donation requests to staff for the BIIA. If the Parks, Beaches, and
Recreation Commission approves the bench donations, City staff installs the new
benches, and the BIIA is responsible for the full maintenance of the teak benches
thereafter.
Ms. Marotta has submitted the attached letters dated August 9, 2000 and August 22, 2000
requesting the approval of two proposed bench donations for Sapphire Avenue and South
Bay Front and Amethyst and North Bay Front to accompany the existing benches.
(Attachment A).
The two new benches will be a continued enhancement to the Island. The verbiage and
size of the donor plaque will conform to Council Policy G -5 (Attachment C).
Ms. Marotta has received a copy of this report and notice of the Parks, Beaches, and
Recreation Commission meeting.
Very respectfully,
David E. Niederhaus

area has been designated with a certain style or type of bench, the Parks, Beaches and

request for a redesignation.
