Rose Garden Escapes Budget Crisis

The City Council voted on the new budget, and the Rose Garden was spared from the cuts. The Rose Garden fountain will remain in operation, although five other fountains in the city will be shut off.

The Park Ranger program was also saved, and the staffing of Rose Garden maintenance workers was also spared.

Thanks to everyone who voiced their concerns to city government representatives.
