Committee advances lease allowing East End Area Council to build community garden on Stetchell Street
Summary
The committee authorized execution of a lease with the East End Area Council for a small green space on Stetchell Street to be used as a community garden and advanced the ordinance for passage by unanimous consent.
The Housing and Growth Committee advanced an ordinance to authorize execution of a lease with the East End Area Council for a piece of city-owned land on Stetchell Street that the council intends to use for a community garden, the transcript shows.
Chair Mark Jeffries described the site as "a small little green space" and said the East End Area Council asked for a lease so it could build a community garden. "It seems like a no brainer and win win," Jeffries said in the record. No committee members asked questions and the item was advanced for passage by unanimous consent; the transcript records no roll-call vote or additional project details such as lease term, maintenance responsibilities or start date.
Next steps: The committee advanced the lease authorization in the committee record; the transcript does not specify the lease term, any maintenance or insurance requirements, or the dates when the garden would be established.
