MEMO TO: DON PAULEY, CLERK-ADMINISTRATOR <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> • DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 1987 <br /> RE: PETITION RECEIVED BY RESIDENTS FOR LIGHTING AT <br /> GROVELAND PARK <br /> A petition was received at City Hall on Wednesday, September 9, 1987 from <br /> residents near Groveland Park. Their concerns lie in the fact that Groveland <br /> Park is very dark after sundown and vandalism has occurred as a result. Their <br /> request is for the installation of three light sources covering the tot lot, <br /> shelter building and on the streetlight pole located on Fairchild Avenue. <br /> I concur that the park is dark after sundown and security lighting would <br /> probably detract vandals. <br /> I recommend that two pair of outdoor floodlights be installed on the front and <br /> back door areas of the shelter building. The floodlight would be directed on <br /> the tot lot and also on the front entry area of the shelter building. The <br /> Fairchild Avenue light could be a regular street light coming from the already <br /> existing pole. <br /> These three light sources would definitely light up the prime targets of <br /> • vandals. Two security lights already exist at the shelter entries. However, <br /> the floodlights would direct the light on the grounds thus picking up sight of <br /> people in the park after darkness. <br /> The two floodlights could easily be installed with existing power and funds <br /> from the Park Dedication Fund. The street light could be installed with the <br /> streetlight fund. <br /> Staff recommends the placement of three light sources at Groveland Park with <br /> funds coming from the Park Dedication fund and the Streetlight fund. <br /> • <br />
