Challenges/Unmet needs for Fiscal FY12-13. Managing the increased
vandalism and graffiti not only within the parks system but City
wide. Parks and Community Forestry programs are widely popular but
unable to meet the demands of our community due to the lack of
staffing and equipment. Water rates have increased over the past
six years while funding for water irrigation has decreased causing
a 78% shortage in funding. FY 12-13 Proposed Budget Slide 10 City
