How will the service level cutbacks affect the maintenance of parks in Benefit Zone 3?

Residents in the Elk Grove West / Vineyard Park area can expect the following service reductions:   

  • Landscape watering will be reduced
  • Mowing at non-sports field parks will be reduced by 50 percent
  • Fertilization and aeration of turf will be eliminated 
  • Weed control in turf and planters will be eliminated   
  • Shrub pruning will be eliminated

Moreover, CSD will not have funds to replace damaged equipment, such as basketball hoops and play structures. Additional service-level cutbacks may be necessary if assessments are not increased.
