Tucson Mayor Seeks Bond and Budget Plan for Parks
Mayor Don Hummel outlines a dual approach to funding recreation in Tucson, favoring bonds for long lasting facilities like pools and centers while using current budgets for shorter life items. He warns against relying on a single admin merge and emphasizes need based service across all areas including low income, retirees, and tourists. City Manager Homer proposes a $405,825 parks budget and $128,067 for organized recreation for 1956 57 with bond program as urgent, planning to present details soon.
