The Committee also requested additional information come back at future dates
regarding:
1. Provide a response and recommendations to the Foundation's
recommendations in the report. For those recommendations that require
additional funding, include in the mid-cycle budget discussions. The
Foundation's Recommendations are as follows:
a. Restore Funding for Park Maintenance-Rising revenues from property
taxes should be applied to augmenting our tree and gardener crews.
b. Bring back the Park Rangers.-Parl Rangers provided tremendous value
to Oaklanders using our parks-they knew our parks well and knew how to deal
with park problems. They provided the safety and support that is sorely lacking
in parks now.
c. Provide a Long-Term Funding Solution for Maintenance of Measure DD
Improvements.-Thank to a one-time infusion of funds the lake landscaping will
be maintained properly for at least a year but all of the Measure DD installations
and the new medians need ongoing care if we wish to keep those areas up to
standards.
d. Find a More Effective Way to Deal with the Homeless.-42% of all calls to
the Call Center this year were about homelessness, yet, real solutions have yet to
be found. It's a challenge that the City must confront.
e. Increase Support to Neighborhood Groups and Stewards.-The
Environmental Stewardship Team is building a strong program of support for
volunteers but more should be done to encourage the creation of new
neighborhood park groups, especially in our less advantaged neighborhoods.
Nothing safeguards the health of a park better than the involvement of active
volunteers.
f. Parks in Jeopardy-Make some difficult decisions about parks that have
been abandoned to the elements. Should we close these parks or redesign them
to require less maintenance and to attract neighborhood families?
g. Stay Creative-Continue to explore alternative maintenance funding
approaches such as conservancies, dedicated fees or taxes, private funding, etc.
2.. Provide alternative uses for parks that are no longer ""family friendly"" parks.
3.
Provide information on increasing sponsorship and naming rights
opportunities.
A motion was made by Kaplan, seconded by Gallo, that this matter be Received
and Filed. The motion carried by the following vote:
