PRAC Recommendations
On June 6, 2022, PRAC made the following additional recommendations related to the Measure P component of the Mayor’s proposed FY 2023 budget:

• $50,000 for a planning grant to implement a youth program focused on civic education piloted in Southwest Fresno to develop a proposal for community centers in high-needs areas. • Recommend that the Park Ranger Program stay under the PARCS Department and not under the supervision of the Police Department.
• Set aside funding for PARCS to work with the cricket, field hockey, and volleyball communities on creating facilities at parks that are preferably multi-use, but not exclusively, for the purpose of expanding opportunities for sports.
• Recommend that appropriations for Cultural Arts be limited to what is required to complete the plan, and that the administrative fee be limited to 2% of what is appropriated. • Recommend not to accept the PARCS Department budget as presented.
