New Tone to Old Issues in HARD Budget Debate
Hayward Area Recreation directors and the City Council debated whether Hayward should remain in HARD and share in its proposed 1.099 million capital levy. Criticism over a 20 cent park tax and double taxation highlighted concerns that HARD favors outside areas, while Hayward residents seek greater local control and park development within the city. The board argues 9 percent administrative costs offset by 22 percent capital outlay, with 40 percent of HARD taxes paid by Hayward and roughly 6 percent of this year’s total planned for Hayward.
