Title
Community Gardens - Land Usage
History
Over a year ago there was a suggestion to implement Community Gardens in Orland Park. During the year we have developed a conceptual plan along with rules and regulations for a pilot program in Discovery Park. Most of the material used for the paths will be recycled grindings. Our manpower will be used to get the gardens started. We will have to tap into the water line and install a spigot at a cost of approximately $300. This project will also be in conjunction with our Green Initiatives.
On February 22, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Recreation & Parks Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The funds will come from the Parks budget 283-4003-451-6199
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the conceptual plan for the Community Gardens to be installed at Discovery Park.
