due to difficult economic times which the entire nation is facing, California being no

necessity for critical budgetary constraints. Subsequently, the Parks and Recreation

Dear Commission Member:
I am writing on behalf of myself and other concerned residents about
possible budget cuts which are being considered for the Stagecoach
Park and Gymnasium. On Sunday mornings anywhere from 15 to 30 people,
Including a handful of senior citizens, I'm Included in that group,
play badminton in the gym from 8:00 ass. to 11:30 pm. There is also a
church group which uses another part of the building at the same time.
If budget cuts will reduce the available amount of time for badminton
or negatively affect the church group I would like to suggest the
following:
1) Increase the current usage fee from $1.00 to $2.00.
2) Reduce current staffing patterns from two people to
one person. Two staff persons are not needed during
this time period.
Your support in helping a^ititaiy thgseySunday hours will be most
appreciated. ' ';
Sincerely yours7,
