Background information:
Last Monday, the Department of Recreation and Parks put out the following memo to the Park Ranger Division and to the unions related to the Division.
On Tuesday, the park-going public learned of this memo and its related changes to the Park Rangers at the Los Angeles City Council's Arts Parks Health and Aging Committee meeting. At the time, the community members who attended the committee which is chaired by Councilman Tom LaBonge reacted very strongly.
You can listen to that reaction here. The pertinent agenda items are 2, 3, and 4 although item 1 is where the memo and contents became known.
