RE: Fwd: Term Limits in Community Gardens?

Hello Susan and friends on the list,
It would be helpful to know what the agreement has been with the Parks and
Recreation Department for the land used by the garden groups. What does the
lease say, or is there a lease agreement?
Is there a "sunset" provison, or a possibility of lease renewal?

As we have been discussing on this list, insurance is a big factor in the
operation of community gardens (and a cost). Private and public community
gardens programs need to have coverage. In the case of some municipal
programs, there is usually coverage under a city policy. This is a great
advantage.

Hello Friends,

After 30 years of Community Gardens, we gardeners in Santa Monica, CA  are 
now facing term limits being imposed by the City Attorney to limit the City

Council's "Legal Risk."  of course, in a city with 85,000 people and 70
gardens, 
we think MORE gardens would be rather helpful!

As far as we know, no other city in the U.S. has term  limits.  I am 
compiling a list of cities with no limits and would  like to know about any
city that 
has limits and how it works to present to  our Recreation & Parks Commission

and then to the City Council in  November.  Your responses would be
extremely 
helpful.  

Thanks for your input, Susan
