Please join us on Monday, Sept 18, 5:30 PM, to protect funding for Shoreline Park and its wildlife
Please join us at the Pebble room at Michael’s Restaurant at Shoreline Park at 5:30PM, or call in on ZOOM (or by dialing (669) 900-9128 and entering Webinar ID: 843 5126 7142) to speak up and ask the City of Mountain View and the school district trustees not to reduce the funding for Shoreline Regional Park! Tell members of the City Council and the School Board Trustees why the park is important to you and your family, and that Shoreline Park is special and merits continued, consistent investment.
Background:
The Shoreline Regional Park Community was created in 1969 by the California legislature as a special park district. Its core purposes are to develop and operate a regional park and enhance the area environmentally and economically. The Mountain View school districts currently receive millions of dollars from the Shoreline Community Fund, and are seeking a larger share of the fund.
The Shoreline Community Fund, paid into by North Bayshore businesses, provides a critical and irreplaceable budget for all of the important functions, services and programs that Shoreline Park entails. This includes: wildlife conservation (including Burrowing Owls, Black Skimmers, and many other sensitive animal species), protections from sea level rise, landfill operations to ensure that greenhouse gasses do not escape the landfill, recreation and educational opportunities, and general upkeep of the park that is visited by millions of Bay Area residents every year.
