Subject: Parks & Rec Mtg 3/1/17: Support for Agenda Item - Update Park and Rec Element
Dear Parks and Recreation Commission,
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into our City parks and facilities. I walked by the plaque at Damon Garcia Park the other
day and It's hard to believe our turf sports complex is already over 10 years old. We are so fortunate to have it!
I am writing in support of the idea to move funds from the City Parkland Fund to the General Fund to pay for a Parks and Recreation
(P&R) Element update.
An update of all City recreational needs, which continue to evolve (yes I'm going to say this - go pickle ball!) should be a priority.
Without a complete understanding of city wide recreational needs the use of parkland funds for a specific project may not be the best
use of those funds.
Please ask the City Council to consider moving funds to the general fund for a P&R Element update.
Best Regards,
Heather Billing
Regional Commissioner
