January 7, 2015 draft
Proposed Components of Amenity Program
(1) Types, descriptions, costs, and locations of amenities available for adoption
Start with current amenities only? Legacy Trail only?
Replacement cost plus percentage admin
Include a map with numbered amenities and corresponding description
o Map to be updated by TTF as amenities adopted
(2) Size of plaque accepted for each amenity
(3) Plaque text (stipulate that text must be non-controversial/appropriate for public display)
Business names okay but no logo or specific advertising?
(4) Allow for additional plaques by same donor on same amenity at additional cost?
(5) Review of application by TTF – exceptions brought before TOT (if allowing exceptions)
(6) Where adoption funds will go (TTF admin/Town trail building fund)
(7) Annual cost for maintenance? (what happens if a bench or interp panel is ruined – who pays to
replace?) – some programs offer a one-time replacement but donor must fund replacement after that.
Special consideration for maintenance of bridge if adopted?
(8) Permanent assignment, or, for X years requiring renewal? (Some programs have a 10-year agreement
with the option of renewal)
(9) Maintenance of records (TTF)
Proposed Components of amenity adoption agreements
Contact information of donor
Agreed cost, location, etc.
Duration
Map including amenity location
Wording for plaque
Maintenance agreement
Legal issues (dispute resolution, etc.) – good examples in East Bay Regional Park District agreement
Signatures (Donor/TTF/Town)
