With $250,000 being spent on youth recreation, I am hoping that MY neighborhood rec center will be open again this summer for my kids after being shut down for 3 years….that is why I voted for it.

When I voted for this levy I went and read the Parks and Rec plan. The position for a volunteer coordinator is clearly mentioned in the Master Plan Action Steps at the end of the document.
