Supervisors Go to Bat for Harbors, Beaches, Parks
From a Times Staff Writer
The Board of Supervisors asked the county’s executive officer Tuesday to determine whether the county’s Harbors, Beaches and Parks Department can have more autonomy.
The request came in response to a recent grand jury report criticizing the diversion of $7.5 million a year -- about $57 million in total -- from the department’s budget to help pay off the county’s bankruptcy debt.
A response to the board’s inquiry will be completed in 60 days, the chief executive said.
