MEMO TO: DON PAULEY, CLERK —ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR 0 <br />PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY ,,11'. <br />0 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 sheiier 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. lwo security lights already exist at Lhe 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 />
