Update: The motion was passed this week. This will be a process, so take every opportunity to get your public comment in.
In June, Wesson, Krekorian, and LaBonge filed a motion to have the Dept. of Recreation and Parks create a plan to increase its budget to $250 million in five years.
Council File #13-0807 could be good - putting an end to some of the chargebacks that have literally decimated the funding for our City parks.
Or it could be bad - no changes to chargebacks, but a mandate that Rec and Parks charges for every single thing they do in Los Angeles. (new revenue!)
The motion will be heard in City Council tomorrow. Likely it will go through. It's the process that follows passage of the motion that could be the devil in sheep's clothing. We'll see.
