RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council accept and recognize the $1,000 donation from Peter Yegen Jr. Inc. for plantings at Pioneer Park.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
Pioneer Park Plantings
The Parks and Recreation Department worked with the Peter Yegen Jr. office on a project at Pioneer Park to help plant wild and region-specific flowers along the creek area of the park to provide a small natural area that will attract pollinators such as butterflies. This will not only enhance the beauty of the creek area, but will also provide a natural area for young kids to explore and discover various insects. The Peter Yegen Jr. office donated $1,000 to the project, which helped pay for flower plugs, an ornamental flowering tree and large rocks to create sitting areas.
