[size 2]Parks Department to Operate Facility Within Budgetary Constraints
Through Reduced Services, Higher Fees and Staffing Adjustments
Los Angeles — Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich announced that the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation will streamline operations at Castaic Lake and has increased fees to allow the County to continue operation and maintenance at least through the end of the fiscal year.
“The Parks Department plan includes measured cuts and sets budget priorities to allow the facility to operate more efficiently. We will continue to identify other long term solutions, public private partnerships and state funding to extend operations and services,” said Supervisor Antonovich. “The Lake is a vital resource to residents and merchants in our Castaic community and an important recreational venue for the entire county and region.”
To prevent losses to the local economy and allow summer access to county residents, Supervisor Antonovich initiated the temporary funding to defer Castaic’s closure over the last year. The new plan will begin February 1, 2004.[/size]
