It offends me as a resident to see that something as precious as a park that is available for the youth, continues to be visible in the community as being targeted. I would like for the panel to acknowledge that the diversity in the city, the latin culture, the africanamerican culture and even the asian culture has made this city famous for the culture that is here. But that is exiting, because we know inequalities do exist in the city. We would like to see a stand taken against that. So we can continue to be present in the city. But any choices that you are making in regards to for instance our parks, please be considerate these are impacting to our future. These children are our future. These youth are our future and they are seeking every way to remain a positive, visible presence in our city and i hope this is being taken seriously. We know we live in a Capitalistic Society and we would still like to be visible in this society. So please be aware of this when you make your choices

Pat, who was on staff every day starting early in the morning, and she would literally rake the sand every day, every morning so that when the kids got there, any objects that might be in the sand had been removed. And she would sweep the sand on the sidewalk so that the kids could run around. That person there is no person like that any more. Nobody cleans out the sand. The rec center is usually closed. Theres nobody there keeping the place clean and neat. And i guess thats for lack of money, which is a shame and later on in the program were going to be theres going to be some discussion of funding for some other things. And i would say its a higher priority to have somebody there keeping the place clean and safe.
