A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF LYNWOOD OPPOSING COUNTY-WIDE CONSOLIDATION
OF PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES.
WHEREAS, the City of Lynwood, as well as many other
cities in Los Angeles County, maintains and operates its own
parks on a neighborhood and/or regional basis, and
WHEREAS, the City of Lynwood desires to maintain the
local character and retain the local control of its city parks, and
WHEHEAS, the requirements of parks and recreation programs
can best be determined by the local jurisdictions immediately
responsive to the citizens in the area it serves, and
WHEREAS, the County o£ Los Angeles already maintains many
acres of park lands throughout the County involving financing,
staffing and administration of considerable proportions, and
WHEREAS, Count,y government in general is already over-
burdened by a rather broad span of control in relation to efficiency
and economy in the utilization of available funds, and
WHEREAS, the County of Los Angeles has once again found
it necessary to increase the general government tax rate this time
by 93� per $100 of assessed valuation to perform the service it
currently offers, and
WHEREAS, it is difficult to envision, therefore, the
County government's feasibility to assume added responsiblities of
operating all the regional parks in the County, without benefit of
another substantial increase in the tax rate, and
WHF.REAS, the City of Lynwood feels it is best qualified to
determine the level and kinds of park and recreational services needed
in the community,
NOW, THFREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Lynwood indicates its opposition to the consolidation
-1-
. a
of local or regional parks operated by local jurisdictions into
the County system of parks, as recently considered by the County
Board of Supervisors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to each member of the Board of Supervisors encouraging
their opposition to such a proposal.
APPROVED and PASSED this 4th day of August, 1970.
