Commissioners,
MAR 01 2017
Please do not borrow or take from the $900,000.00 the City Council earmarked and set aside for a
park in the North Broad Street area. The residents in this area have been promised a park for many
many years and Council recognized that promise by allocating the funds for a future park. The
$900,000.00 may not be sufficient to purchase land for a park but more funds could be allocated over
time. If you steal from this fund now, it will make it virtually impossible to purchase any property when
it becomes available since there will be such a small balance remaining and the hurdle to find more
money will be insurmountable.
If funds are needed for a Parks & Recreation Element Update, find them elsewhere.
