Important Meeting:

We would greatly appreciate it if you and your children, grandchildren, neighbors and community members that support the Ojai Skate Park could join us next week at the OUSD School Board meeting. It’s really important that we go to this meeting and show how supported and important the Ojai skate park is to our community and see the latest plans of the Ojai skate park that our community donated $ 261,000 in 6 months time (totaling $361,00 with the city of Ojai’s donation of $100,000) for the children to have a concrete skate park.

Dale Summersille the City of Ojai Recreation Director, Kanten Russell of Site Design and a member of Skate Ojai will be making the presentation of the Ojai Skate Park Project to the school board.

• Tuesday, April 14th.
• 7:00 pm. (meeting begins right at 7:00pm. and there will be one presentation before the Skate Park item on the agenda)
• 414 E. Ojai Ave. in Board Room #1 (OUSD offices/Chaparral location)

At this presentation Dale will review the latest conceptual design, review the proposed rules for the day to day operations, overview of the budget, and review the budget highlights.

Things have been happening behind the scenes and Dale wrote down a couple of them so you can see that the ball is rolling.
