The City of Glendora


Misuse of City Park Permits Is Alleged

By Jessica Garrison
Times Staff Writer

May 19, 2004

Los Angeles officials said Tuesday that they are investigating whether private operators are reserving the city's limited public fields and then renting them for profit.

Jon Kirk Mukri, head of the city's Recreation and Parks Department, said he had launched an investigation because of community complaints shortly after assuming the post. He said he also wanted city permits rewritten to make it clear that the practice was illegal and would be punished.

Mukri said unscrupulous operators could be exploiting the parks to run a lucrative business. "They are now charging a couple of hundred [dollars]," he said. "We don't support this. It's immoral."

He also said he would ensure that city employees were not colluding in any inappropriate use of fields.

"We have a moral obligation to police this," he said. "We can talk about not having enough parks, but if our parks are being used inappropriately, that makes a bad situation worse."

Reyes' proposal for an audit will be reviewed by a council committee.

The councilman also called for a review of fees that residents of other cities pay to use Los Angeles' parks and to enroll in the city's sports programs and classes.

Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who co-signed Reyes' motion with Perry, said she had heard rumors that some neighboring cities had curtailed their own classes because so many of their children were taking advantage of Los Angeles' subsidized programs.

"We're in tough budget times," she said. "They're not sharing in our pain, so why should they share in our benefits?"
