Dear Mark,

Summer is winding down and the Labor Day holiday weekend is fast approaching.  Many of us will be celebrating with familiy and friends, and even gathering in parks throughout the city for barbeques and other festivities.  After that, it's back to school for the kids, and back to work for City Council. 

When City Council reconvenes again next month, a public hearing on Bill. No. 050679, proposing consolidation of the Fairmount Park Commission and Department of Recreation, could happen as early as the second week of September.  We'll need as many people as possible to come out on the day of the hearing and send a message to the mayor and council members.  The exact date has yet to be determined, but rest assured that we will keep you informed.

To date, 100 organizations and over 740 individuals have signed the resolution in favor of park reform but opposed to Bill No. 050679. Thanks again to all who have already endorsed, however if you haven't done so yet, please take a moment to sign the resolution.

The conversation about this legislation and park reform continues around the city.  Take a couple of minutes and visit our blog to read what people are saying and please share your thoughts as well by posting a comment.
