Agenda Item Text:
Approve Community Enhancement Fund expenditures for District 3: Provide $12,593 to the City of Sierra Vista to support the Sunrise and Reap Goodness a (501(c)(3) non-profit) public Food Forest Project in Sierra Vista's West End.
Background:
City of Sierra Vista is asking for help in this project and will be appreciative of our community enhancement expenditure. The funding will be used for engineering, drainage and infrastructure needed to make this land useful for turning into a much needed public area that, as a bonus, will feed people. This project is located on two lots that were turned over to the city because of drainage problems and will be perfect for a learning and food park that will benefit the older neighborhood where it is located.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Fund to be submitted to City of Sierra Vista
