John Boylan urged consolidation of Fish and Game with related agencies, while Forests and Parks opposed a merger. Budget officials proposed retaining agency identities. The pavilion hotel debate split over renovation versus demolition, with preservationists arguing for its landmark status and opponents citing cost.
