FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







1992 FWOC RESOLUTION #7

_CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION_


The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) is facing a $33 million budget cut for the fiscal year of 1992-1993.  This is one-fifth of their total budget.  The results may be that 226 positions (of 2400 DPR positions) will be eliminated, 30 park units (out of 275) may have to be closed, and service will be reduced in 150 parks.
The consequences of such reductions could result in insufficient maintenance, reduced fire protection, renewed grazing and the introduction of commercial ventures in the parks.
The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs urges the state legislature and the Governor to maintain current DPR staffing levels and keep all state parks open.  The Federation encourages that interim funds be made available from the state off-highway vehicle fund as well as the harbors and watercraft fund for the above mentioned purpose.
