We feel it is important to reflect on recent accomplishments and challenges and to share that information with you. As always, it has been a productive year and I am very proud of our staff and leadership. This year our efforts to focus on strengthening our partnerships in this community are helping our park system. In my six terms as Chairman of the Park Authority Board, I have worked hand-in-hand with individuals who understand the value of working together for the common betterment of the community The commitment to our park system by our partners has made a significant difference in our ability to deal with these challenging budget times. Let me share some insights on how these partnerships and collaborations benefit all of us. I was honored to be a recipient of the Tony Griffin Partnership Leader Award presented by the Office of Private Partnerships, affectionately known as OP3, William Bouie this past May. It is a great honor to be recognized in this manner but I can hardly take credit for this accolade alone. Each year individuals and organizations use the Mastenbrook Volunteer Matching Fund Grant program to help fund projects in the community such as batting cages, dog parks or playgrounds. This year, the Park Authority Board increased the maximum from $10,000 to $20,000, thus stretching those dollars even further and increasing the possibilities for community-driven improvements in our parks.
