TO: Yakima City Parks,
I am writing this letter at the request of Denise Nichols regarding the
donation of your 1978 Toro Gang Mower, from Yakima City Parks to our
organization. Richard Wonner supervised my viewing the mower.
Upper Valley Sports and Recreation Association is a c3 and our tax ID
number is 91- 1952090. Currently we are in the process of building Cleman's
View Park (formerly the Naches Boot and Spur Club plus property donated
by Allan Bros. Inc.) just east of Naches on Highway #12. This twenty four
(24) acre complex containing four (4) baseball fields, several soccer /football
fields, walking paths and other amenities will serve both our youth and
communities throughout the Upper Valley area.
The Toro Gang Mower would be a very welcome addition to our complex and
would serve a very vital function by helping to keep our facility well groomed.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
t o b

Dear Denise,
Thank you for the call regarding your intent to surplus out two 72 inch trim mowers. The
current trim mower we have was one that was a surplus purchase from the City several
years ago. We would be very interested in the purchase of one or perhaps both of these
mowers, subject to budget appropriation from the Greenway Board of Directors.
As I understand the process, the units can be sold at "trade-in" value to an organization
such as the Greenway. I request that once that value is established, we be notified and I
will have the unit(s) inspected and I will then take to the Board for approval.
Thank you for thinking of us for this use.
Respectfully,
Al Brown
