In the meantime, we must continue pushing for the Cobb Board of Commissioners to fully fund the $40 million Park Bond 2008 Referendum as voters approved with a landslide 67% of the electorate. In fact, the Park Bond funds have already been earmarked for years with property taxes in the Debt Service Fund, so no county taxes would need to be raised.
A Cobb citizen advisory committee also recommended 29 properties for purchase in 2009, and we are also asking the Board of Commissioners to 'fast-track' the purchase of the remaining properties that have not been developed in the last 7 years. These are the properties selected in 2009 not yet purchased: http://www.mdjonline.com/view/full_story/4153073/article-County-releases-parks-list
