County supervisors by a 4 to 1 vote agreed to spend 5 million dollars of next year’s revenue from a new one cent sales tax for park development in unincorporated Long Beach territory. The plan, proposed by Anson Ford, faced a split among two supervisors and was initially postponed before a final vote. The board also asked for a county manager report before final action.
