Hayward executive backs Ukiah recreation district plan
L A Bud Critzer, director of Hayward Area Recreation and Park District, told the Community Action for Recreation and Culture that forming a Ukiah Valley park and recreation district is feasible. He noted a 20 cent per 100 dollar assessed value could raise about 180000 for 1974 75 with user fees and grants cutting tax needs. Critzer urged a single purpose independent district with its own board, citing past successes in Hayward of five new centers without raising tax rates and ability to borrow funds with favorable terms. He warned undeveloped property owners may oppose but can be excluded until development. The local committee and officials including Burgess Williams and Richard Avey attended.
