The plan would need to include the following: <br />- Watering Source <br />- Plot Size <br />- Communication/ Gardeners <br />- Start up Procedures <br />- Soil Testing <br />- Rental Fee Rate <br />- Parking Area <br />- Plot Rental Cost <br />- Community Garden "Rules' <br />- End of Season Clean up <br />- Watering Equipment <br />- City Expenditures <br />Based on the conservation with other cities, it is necessary to charge a fee for each gardening plot <br />per season to offset the overall cost for operating the garden. The plot rental fee ranges from $25 to <br />$50 per plot. <br />The propose site will accommodate approximately 64 -18 X 18 square feet gardening plots (see <br />attachment). If the plot rate is $25, this would generate $1,600 per season or $3,200 per season at a <br />rate of $50 per plot. The revenue can be used for pre- season preparation of the plots and for <br />cleaning up at the end of the season. <br />Recommendation: <br />If it is the desire of the City Council to proceed with this project, I would recommend preparing <br />the site with the infrastructure necessary in the summer of 2010 and then "Hit the Garden <br />Running" in 2011. 1 would also recommend advertising in the summer of 2010 to gain interest for <br />this project. <br />Please contact me with any other questions. <br />Staff Report Community Garden Kenzie <br />
