In 2007 the department was under-funded by $2 million. In 2009 the budget was cut by an additional $2 million, allowing only one maintenance person per 60 acres. The standard is one maintenance person per 10 acres. The current budget is $5.3 million. Expenditures from this budget are for maintenance, personnel, recreation, senior programs, human services and administration. City Parks and Recreation applied for statewide park development funding. In areas where there are newer homes and parks, volunteers assist with park maintenance. Residents have pride in their parks. Older parks in other parts of the city have large homeless and transient populations. 2010-2011 San Bernardino County Grand Jury Final Report 53
