Item No. 39 290
Date: 9-9-2009
Item/Subject: Resolve, Approving Soliciting Donations for the Park in Park Woods Project
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
On September 11, 2009, a number of organizations, including the City, the Governor's Office,
the Maine Commission on Community Service, AmeriCorps NCCC, the Maine Conservation Corps,
Lowe's, FACT, and JobCorps, will create a park area to be known as the Park in Park Woods in
the woods behind the Park Woods housing complex.
Originally conceived as a project for the AmeriCorps NCCC team currently doing work in the City,
the project has expanded due largely to the efforts of the Maine Commission on Community
Service, working in conjunction with the City and the Governor's Office. These efforts have
included the solicitation of materials, tools, and labor.
As City policy forbids solicitation without Council approval, the City Council must ratify the
solicitation efforts that have occurred. Volunteer labor, benches and materials for picnic table,
flowers, and tools are the primary items that have been solicited.
The Government Operations Committee recommends accepting solicitations for this project.
