Summary & Background (First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Scope of Work: At various times, the Sandy Springs Conservancy has contacted the Department of Real Estate Asset and Management, (DREAM) and the Fulton County Department of Library Services to obtain the approval of the Fulton Board of Commissioners to perform certain volunteer service projects, mainly onsite landscape maintenance services and to install landscape site improvements, at the Sandy Springs Branch Library.
Due to the number of requests and to avoid the need for BOC approval for each project, DREAM and the Library are requesting BOC approval of a general right of access agreement and accompanying waiver and release allowing the Sandy Springs Conservancy access to the library grounds after approval of a particular project by DREAM and the Library followed by the County Manager.
Initial proposed landscaping services will include hedge trimming, weed removal, washing and painting of benches in outside reading areas, installation of crushed slate within walking paths in the reading garden and removal of broken bricks and realignment of bricks that align walkways in the garden.
In accordance with County Policy the approval of the Board of Commissioners is required prior to the acceptance of real property right, gifts, and services.
Community Impact: Approval of a Right of Access Agreement with the Sandy Springs Conservancy for the purpose of granting onsite access to provide landscape maintenance and to complete landscape improvement projects at the Sandy Springs Branch Library will not negatively impact daily operations.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval of a Right of Access Agreement with the Sandy Springs Conservancy.
