§ 25582 Park Land Abandonment Approval

Key Takeaways

  • •If a park was bought using money from special bonds, the county can't just sell or change its use without asking voters first.
  • •The county must hold a vote at the next big election or a special election to get approval from most voters.
  • •This rule makes sure people in the county have a say if their park land might be used for something else.

Example

Imagine your town has a big park paid for with special money from bonds. Now, the county wants to sell part of the park to build a shopping mall.

Before they can do that, they have to ask all the voters in the county. If most voters say 'no,' the park stays as it is. If most say 'yes,' then they can sell it.
