Title: Partners for Parks Donation Acceptance For Solar Lighting Rose Park North Trail
Presented by: Brad Wright
Department: Parks/Rec/Public Lands
Presentation: No
Legal Review: Not Applicable

RECOMMENDATION

PRPL seeks City Council consent to accept Partners for Parks donation of up to $22,000.  PRPL also seeks Council consent to purchase seven (7) exterior solar lights with the donated funds.

BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)

Partners for Parks (P4P) has utilized the PRPL matching grant program and has been awarded $18,000.  In collaboration with P4P, PRPL will use the awarded $18,000 and donated $22,000 to purchase and install 7 new solar lights along the newly proposed Rose Park North Trail.  PRPL has installed this particular light in several different locations in other parks.  This trail will connect to the Rose Park Elementary School campus and will provide lighting for students and adults that may use the trail to get to school. 

STAKEHOLDERS

City of Billings
Billings Parks and Recreation
Partners 4 Parks
Park Users
Rose Park Elementary School

ALTERNATIVES

City Council may:
  • Approve; or,
  • Not Approve

FISCAL EFFECTS

PRPL doesn't expect to hire any FTEs with the installation of the new lights.  PRPL will expect to see a cost savings as the lights are solar, and any needed parts are interchangeable with the same model of lights previously installed by PRPL.
