52. DONATION OF IMPROVEMENTS TO WHITE TANKS CEMETERY Authorize the Director of Facilities Management (FMD) to accept the donation of services and materials from the Estrella Mountain , Litchfield Park and White Tank Rotary Clubs to provide improvements to the County’s White Tank Cemetery . The improvements consist of the installation of mesquite trees and concrete benches. The improvements are valued at less than $5,000. Maricopa County will assume maintenance responsibilities for the improvements once completed. The annual estimated maintenance expense is valued at less than $500 and will be included within current operating authority. The Rotary clubs have asked for permission to install the improvements at the cemetery as part of “Make a Difference Day” activities on October 25, 2008. Facilities Management has forwarded the request to the Luke Air Force Planning Division and has received their verbal approval that the improvements will not violate our agreement with the Federal Government. The annual maintenance costs are nominal and can be absorbed within current budgetary authority. The group has executed a waiver of liability in the County’s favor for this project. The county site number for this property is 2603. (C-70-09-013-D-00)
