City Council Operating Budget Hearing On Dept. of Parks and Recreation
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2nd
12:30 – 2 p.m. (or later) City Hall, Room 400
“Parks and Recreation is still $5 million short of the approved budget for FY 2009! Close the Gap in FY 2015!
“Mayor Nutter’s proposed increase of $500,000 for programming in FY 2015 is a good start, but it’s not enough. We thank City Council & Mayor Nutter for partial restoration of operations funding in FY 2013. NOW it’s time for them to INVEST IN PROGRAMMING and restore the remaining $5 Million!”
