CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
DATE: July 6, 2011 CONSENT CALENDAR
SUBJECT: APPROVE CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS FOR DEMUTH PARK
COMMUNITY GARDEN ON CITY PROPERTY AT SOUTH SIDE OF THE
DEMUTH PARK COMMUNITY CENTER LOCATED AT 3601 E.
MESQUITE AVE
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Michele Mician, Manager, Office of Sustainability
SUMMARY:
This action is to approve the landscape and irrigation site plan for the Demuth Park
Community Garden located on City property at 3601 East Mesquite Avenue,
RECOMMENDATION:
1) Approve site plan for the Demuth Park Community Garden at the Demuth Park
Community Center; and
2) Direct staff to obtain bids for the project; and
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The Palm Springs Path to a Sustainable Community recommended a community
garden pilot project as a key sustainability initiative. To initiate this task, staff members
who serve on the internal City Green Team formed a subcommittee to compile ideas,
develop conceptual design, facilitate public input and solicit construction drawings.
The Office of Sustainability procured the services of TKD Associates to develop a
landscape and irrigation plan for the site and provide a complete set of construction
drawings. The design was developed based on examples of community garden
projects already completed within the Coachella Valley, community recommendations
and the site available for development. The Demuth Park Community Center location
was chosen based on demographics, community interest, site availability, and proximity
to existing services such as lighting, restroom facilities and parking.

Approve Site Plan for Demuth Park Community Garden
At the April and May 2011 regular Commission meetings the Sustainability Commission
reviewed the conceptual design for the Demuth Community Garden, provided positive
feedback and requested that staff execute the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project cost is estimated at $80,000. The cost of construction and maintenance will
be paid from two accounts. A portion of the project has been funded through a
partnership and agreement with Veolia Water, Section 5.2 (v) which calls for an annual
contribution of $10,000 to WWTP Administration Public Community Garden account
#420-6800-57021. The fund has $50,000 available for the project.
The remainder of the funding will be provided through the sustainability fund account
#138-1270-58019. Annual maintenance will be funded using dollars available through
the agreement with Veolia Water that calls for an ongoing annual contribution of
$10,000 for as long as Veolia Operating Services maintains an agreement with the City.
