RE: COMMUNITY GARDEN USE AGREEMENT
Gentlemen:
Thank you for agreeing to donate the undeveloped back portion of your property, located at 539 N. Acacia for the use of a Community Garden Program to be sponsored by the City of Rialto.
The garden will be an educational component of the city's environmental education program as well as provide an opportunity for low-income citizens to enhance their food supply. It will provide a social opportunity for singles, seniors and other local residents. Schools will be encouraged to develop classroom gardens.
The city intends to develop the area with a water system and defined garden plots. A committee of city staff, church members and other interested participants will develop guidelines for plot usage and garden management. City staff will administer this program and pay for all necessary costs.
The city's use of the property will commence as soon as this agreement is signed and will continue indefinitely for up to a minimum of 5 years, at which time the church may agree to a new time frame or cancel usage. The city may end sponsorship at any time.
At the conclusion of the city's use of the property, any fixed assets or structures installed by the city may be removed. These may include fencing, tool sheds, or similar improvements which enhanced the city's ability to conduct the community garden project. Any improvements which remain, as designated by the city, will become the property of the church. 150 SOUTH PALM AVENUE, RIALTO, CALIFORNIA 92376
