5 Recall Reasons

1.  Ashland Parks & Recreation Commissioners (APRC) continue to mismanage their $9 million annual budget, seriously threatening the sustainability of the city’s general fund.

2.  APRC mismanages personnel.  For example, they laid off effective, well-qualified staff at the Senior Center and replaced them with unqualified parks employees, thus endangering our seniors’ well-being.

3.  APRC repeatedly and flagrantly failed to follow Oregon Public Meetings Law by under-publicizing meetings, disallowing or ignoring public input, and failing to accurately reflect citizen input in meeting minutes.

4.  With disregard for public concern, APRC voted to spend $230,000 for a Portland consultant to decide the fate and future design of Lithia Park, threatening specific historic sites in our beloved crown jewel. 

5.   APRC spent $49,000 on the 2016 Performance Audit which recommends, ‘Do a better job with what you have before making any changes.' and ‘Conduct a comprehensive community needs assessment before acting.’  Then they ignored these recommendations.
