March 1, 2017 Parks and Recreation Committee Members City Hall 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 Dear Parks and Recreation Committee Members, It has come to my attention that an effort has been made to redesignate $200,000 of the $900,000 allotted by the City Council on July 14, 2016, for seed money for our North Broad area park. Please note that this has been an unmet need cited in a wide -variety of meetings to plan for the future of our City. Community members were so relieved when the previous City Council voted to support this unmet need. When $6,900,000 that was found in last year's budget, $6,000,000 went to a computer system for the City, and our neighborhood park acquisition fund got the leftover amount. We would appreciate your protecting what has been budgeted for our park. Many residents do not have usable yards and a park would enable all ages to enjoy time outdoors. It would also serve as a wonderful meeting place for users of the future Broad Street Bike Boulevard. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Mila Vujovich-La Barre Mila Vujovich-La Barre San Luis Obispo, CA 1
