SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Parks Foundation of Monterey County is a nonprofit corporation created to assist the Parks Department in accomplishing its mission (see attached). The current agreement that governs the relationship between the Foundation and the County will expire on December 31, 2013. It is the desire of the Board of Directors of the Foundation and the Parks Department to renew this relationship with a new Agreement for a ten-year term to expire December 31, 2023.
The Parks Foundation of Monterey County was formed thirty years ago to assist the Parks Department in fulfilling its mission and accomplishing its goals and objectives by enhancing the Department's ability to provide varied park and recreation programs and facilities.
There are no major substantive changes to the new Agreement that was last approved by the Board of Supervisors in December 2003. This is a renewal of the same basic terms and conditions for an additional ten-year term.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by County Counsel.
FINANCING:
The continuation of the Parks Foundation's efforts on behalf of the County Parks will enable the Department to obtain supplemental funding to help acquire, develop, operate, and maintain the County parks system as a service to the general publics. There is no adverse impact to General Fund Contribution as a result of this action.
