What are potential solutions to closing this funding gap and restoring service levels?

One possible solution is the creation of an overlay assessment district for the underfunded parks in Benefit Zone 3 to close the gap between landscape maintenance and asset replacement expenditures, and benefit assessment revenues. Increased benefit assessment funding would be used to restore the service level reductions and put Elk Grove / West Vineyard on a sustainable financial path.
