Why this resource matters
A pilot should be easy for a city team to understand before anyone discusses procurement or regulation. The model is designed as a defined local test with clear boundaries: it does not replace permits, inspections, local codes or MS4 obligations, and it does not give the nonprofit regulatory authority.
Key points
- Define a manageable pilot area or voluntary participant group.
- Coordinate education, outreach, sponsor participation and site documentation within an agreed scope.
- Track participation, resource engagement and documented maintenance or improvement actions.
- Keep municipal endorsement, enforcement and procurement decisions separate from nonprofit program participation.
- Close the pilot with a concise summary of activities, lessons learned and recommended next steps.
