(1) Funding would be a priority .. that's why I signed the 1% pledge
(2) Planning, so that when decisions made about development, parks are on the table
Miller
(1) Reclaim bottom 50 parks
(2) $10 million for maitenance & $25MIL capital
(3) Enforce maintenance & make sure there's security

Ognibene
(1) The first thing I would do is to rethink my position about community gardens
(2) I went to all the community organizations and the most important thing to do is to find out what they need and what they want and make sure they interact with the new parks commissioner ... there's no reason why every park has people's input
