We brought this item before committee and will continue today until the next rules committee, but want to reiterate the purpose behind this. I think everyone shares this here, the parks inside the sit a are some the greatest assets qu provide a high quality of life and as the city grows in terms of population and otherwise and we feel it every day, the parks are used with greater intensity more than ever before.
