TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: General Services Director
SUBJECT: Tree Donation Request
Recommendation
PB &R Commission Agenda
Item No. 5
January 2, 2007
Staff recommends that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission approve the tree donation
request at Corona Del Mar State Beach.
Discussion
At its regular meeting on December 5, 2006, the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation Commission asked
that this item be continued to allow commissioners the opportunity to inspect the proposed donation
site and review tree species selection.
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, uniform procedure for making gifts to the
City, and to make the donation process easier for staff and residents.
Per City Council Policy B -17, the City has received a request from Monique Faure to donate a tree at
Corona Del Mar State Beach (Attachment A). The donated tree (Attachment B) will be a Torrey
Pine, and will be planted from a 24" box container. The tree will compliment the existing trees at
the proposed location (Attachment Q.
Since the value of the tree is less than $1,000.00, the donation is not eligible to receive a plaque,
which complies with City Council Policy B -17.
Ms. Faure and Council Member Nancy Gardener have received a copy of this report and a notice of
the Commission meeting.
Very respectfully,
Mark Harmon
