The City Wrote Back!







Hello Amy!

The Garden plans/design look very professional and you can tell that a lot of hard work went into this project. A few questions have been asked regarding the possible community garden. Do you feel that the you/the Community Garden Group would be able to meet the terms and conditions of the Policy and the Lease Agreement? How much community acceptance/support has this involved? Who is the 'group' that will be maintaining the Gardens? Have the funds been identified to support the Gardens, both presently and in the future? In reviewing the proposal, this size/caliber of Community Garden may not be appropriate for the area. That being said, do you have an idea for a scaled down version of the Gardens? Additionally, unfortunately the City will not be able to aid in any funding for the project or any type of maintenance. Thus, the tap into a water line would not be permitted. Other than rain barrels, have you identified another source of water? There are some others, but for now, these questions must be addressed first. Again, we appreciate your work on this project, well done!

Thanks!
Tina
