The City is considering the final version of the City Budget for 2026 this Tuesday, June 7th (at 1:00).  Patty and I don’t plan to attend to make comments, but we are each submitting a public comment, which will be distributed to each Councilmember before the meeting, and will become part of the record of the meeting.

The draft Budget proposes to reduce the operating hours of (nearly) all of the rec centers to 40 hours/week, and reduce the staff accordingly.  The Budget also proposes that the City would start charging for parking at Balboa Park, including the Inspiration Point lot (next to the chapel/Veterans Museum, and the lot south of Presidents Way) that we use to get to BPAC.  

Would you please send out an email to all SDBC members asking each of them to submit a comment to the City Council before Tuesday at 8 AM!  Each person in a family can submit a comment (and non-City residents can submit them too).  This may be our last chance to keep our hours at BPAC, and to be able to avoid parking fees that could be prohibitively expensive!

Here’s the link to get to the City’s comment form, for you to fill out and submit to the City Council:  https://www.sandiego.gov/city-clerk/agenda-comment-form
