Congratulations San Diego on Saving the Fire Pits!
On May 3rd, I posted a blog on how San Diego was seeking to save their beach fire pits from losing city funding to preserve and maintain them due to an shrinking city budget. Well, its official now, the city has come to an agreement with several local tourism and non-profit groups to maintain the fire pits.
The cost to preserve and maintain these beach fire pits is around $150,000 per year, and the agreement reached, leaves the city responsible for only $30,000 of the cost with the remainder being picked up by the tourism and non-profit groups.
Thats the good news, the bad news is that no long term agreement has been reached, stated Councilman Kevin Faulconer, but that a deal was in the works for a long term agreement to fund the maintenance so this issue wont be on the table each year.
So keep your fingers crossed on that.
But congratulations San Diego on overcoming this first hurdle, were rooting for you!
