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.

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.

City Council may:

• Approve; or,
• Not Approve

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.
