Parks & Recreation Advisory Board Chair Begs the City "Don't Cut Our Parks Budget to Save Schools?"

To all COLA LO Members,

PRAB Chair Steve Dodd begs the city not to cut the Parks budget to provide $2 million for the deficit in the LO School District budget.     The council is finalizing an effort to provide $1-$2 million to LOSD to offset a $5-8 million budget deficit.  

This is in addition to $800K  already provided by the city to LOSD. Is this the beginnings of a budget battle?  Schools, Parks, Fire, Police, Foothills, WEB?
