SUBJECT:
APPROVE A ONE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH ON RAMPS COVENANT CHURCH FOR
THE ADOPTION OF DICKEY PARK
Staff recommends that the City Council approve me attached one-year agreement with On Ramps Covenant
Church (ORCC), allowing priority access to the youth smball field at Dickey Park for community-based
activities in exchange for maintenance services to the Dickey Park Softball Field and the remainder of the park,
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ORCC agrees to provide cleanup, landscaping, and limited repair services for the Dickey Park softball field and
surrounding park space in exchange for priority access to the softball field at the par. The Agreement is for
one year. On Ramps Covenant Church will:
• Participate in he City of Fresno Adopt -a -Park Program for one year beginning December 15, 2012,
through June 30, 2012, for a total of 90 hours — average of 125 hours per mora. The 90 hours
represent an economic value of $900 00
Provide edging, weeding, low -limb pruning, graffiti removal, mash pickup, reporting of volunteer
Information and park maintenance issues
• Provide monthly repair and replacement for watering hoses, field rakes, infield din draggers, and field
chalkers
The City will have the Dickey Park Softball Field reserved for use by ORCC on a priority basis and will
coordinate through ORCC will all other groups wishing to use the fiend.
BACKGROUND
The On Ramps Covenant Church has been in existence since the summer of 2011, and has been a vital
contributor to the Lowell community in regards to neighborhood building, cleanup and events. ORCC has
utilized the Dickey Park Softball Fields that were oporated through the City of Fresno PARCS Department.
They provide monthly community cleanup and special event activities at Dickey Park. The clean upsrspecial
events are held on Saturdays, once a month, throughout the year.
Due to organizational downsizing over the last two years, the PARCS Department has had to reduce services
in the areas of field and landscape maintenance. The ORCC will clean up the park, restrooms and seflball
field once a month. When the Adopt -a -Park Program was announced to the community, the ORCC made
overtures to assist In the maintenance of Dickey Park (including the school field) in exchange for a reduced
field cost.
