No thanks Carol, I do not want a developer driven City Council
advocating for our parks. They would likely all be condos by
the time my granddaughter was old enough to play soccer.
If we go this route lets give the city the schools to run as
well.
I don't think this is a good plan and I for one would fight
pretty hard to keep it from happening. Park Board need to
exert itself more not less. We need to know when we elect
people to the Park Board that they have the ability to carry
our the platform they run on. Right now I think the staff
sort of dictate the policy not the board. Park Board was once
a pretty cushy position, I think we need to ratchet up their
responsibilities. Just my $0.02.
