SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall Parks and Recreation Department is seeking approval for submittal a grant application
to the McCall Rotary Club in an amount not to exceed $5,250 (exact grant request TBD) to support tree
planting at Riverfront Park. The funds will be matched with $3,000 from the City of McCall Parks and
Recreation FY18 and FY19 ($1,500 each year) budget allocation for tree planting. The McCall Rotary Club
has adopted a goal of planting one tree for every Rotary Club member (currently there are 67 members).
This project proposes a partnership with the McCall Rotary Club to meet this goal while improving the
City’s largest community park by planting the trees near the Sheep Bridge access within Riverfront Park.
Irrigation hookup to the newly installed water sub out on the north side of the park is anticipated for 2018.
This will provide irrigation needed to establish the trees after planting. An area plan is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a McCall Rotary Club grant application and authorize the Mayor to sign all
necessary documents.
