Little known fact: even according to Sedita, over 75% of the parks budget goes to golf courses, which are quite expensive to maintain, way more expensive than mulching some trails and cutting grass

Why not raise the golf fees to a level where they can re-open the rest of the parks?

The courses are popular enough that there would still be plenty of business... People are NOT going to stop golfing, or join a private club in protest

Remember, all the $$ raised from park shelter rentals would be coming in as well, in addition to revenues from county park courses...

Keep ALL THAT $$ in the "parks dept" instead of returning it to the general fund and the re-budgeting an appropriation to the parks dept, as happens now

that way, the parks can be fairly close to self-sustaining
