Home My WebLink About05 - Bench Donation ProcessTO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission PB &R Commission Agenda Item No. November 1, 11 FROM: Mark Harmon, Director of Municipal Operations SUBJECT: Bench Donation Process Recommendation Staff recommends that the Parks, Beaches and Recreation (PB &R) Commission receive and file this report and provide staff with direction regarding the Official Bench List. Discussion City Council Policy B -17 establishes criteria for parks equipment, facilities, and recreation program donations within the City. The following process is followed when the Operations Department receives an inquiry regarding a donation to the City: • Once an inquiry is received regarding the donation of a bench, staff will mail a copy of the B -17 policy, the Gifts for Tomorrow Donation Catalog, and the Donation Site Availability List to the potential donor. . • The donor may then send the department an Order Request Form specifying the donation and location. • Staff will prepare a report for PB &R Commission for approval. At the August 2, 2011, PB &R Commission Meeting, staff was asked to provide information regarding the style (make /model) of benches that are selected and the cost of each type or bench. In researching this issue, staff located the attached November 16, 2004 agenda report which refers to a PB &R appointed Bench Committee that was established in May 1996. This Committee, with input from the Arts Commission, apparently coordinated the selection of the attached Official Bench List which was later adopted by the PB &R Commission. This Official Bench List with cost, park locations, and photos, is attached for review. Staff uses this list today when selecting the specific style for the various parks and other locations. By using this Official List, we maintain uniformity of hardscape within our parks and streets. If the Commission wishes to delete certain styles, add additional bench styles if available, or make any other changes to the List, staff would recommend the appointment of a Bench Committee to work with staff on these changes.

Background In May 1996, City staff developed a list of various styles of park benches for review by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission. After reviewing the list, the Commission appointed a Bench Committee who later met and coordinated the selection of the attached Official Bench List after conferring with the Arts Commission. Discussion Since the adoption of the attached Official Bench List by the Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission, a number of other bench styles have been used in various City business districts after lengthy selection processes. Staff has attached photos of the new bench styles used at the Balboa Village, Corona del Mar, and Balboa Island business areas. Also attached are photos of Teak benches used on the bayfronts of Little Balboa and Balboa Island. Staff is prepared to address further details regarding park benches. Very respectfully, David E.
