that someone on the Council will instruct the City Manager and Parks and Rees to allocate the $1 mil+ needed in deferred maintenance at Riverview to be specifically addressed. From speaking with Cavazos and Mouet, I did not get the sense that Riverview is on their radar as a priority. There was a lot of talk about balancing the needs of all 40+ parks, etc., which I understand. However, they really did not address any of the specific points I've raised about why Riverview is important to the entire community (i.e. SA Pony baseball and high usage by the community). Furthermore, when I raised a specific safety example (the basketball court), Mouet told me that he had to balance many safety priorities, most of which were in bad shape. I again came away from the call with little confidence that the issues in Riverview will be addressed now or in the future. Today, I sent e-mails to both Councilwoman Amezcua and Martinez with a similar update. I wish I had more time before the tentative budget meeting tonight, but unfortunately, my vacation was ill-timed for this purpose. Ifl cannot make it tonight to ask, I would really appreciate you and the Council instructing the City Manager and Parks and Rees to provide some concrete allocation.for the $1 mil in deferred maintenance funding by either finding room in the existing tentative budget or in the anticipated surplus funds in the fall. I fear that without specific instruction on this point, more time will pass, and we will be in the exact same position in the fall. That scenario would be both frustrating and disappointing. Thank you so much for your support and I hope to see you tonight, Best, Darrell White On The, Jun 2, 2015 at 1:07 PM, Darrell White < wrote: Hi Becky, I hope you are having a nice week.
