Recreation Panel Will Take Fund Battle To Council
Fremont Recreation Commission will appeal to the city council over the proposed $205,000 budget for 1969-70. Commissioners oppose a $74,000 cut in park and recreation funds and criticize revenue juggling that shifts park money to general operation. They note the park override was intended for purchase and development, not operation, and urge restoring funds for park projects and new programs.
