Here\u2019s why."},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<div>\n<p>San Diego City Council members are calling for fundamental changes to the city\u2019s 4-year-old opportunity fund, which funnels money to recreation centers in low-income areas where community donations tend to lag.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/18\/pentagon-chief-lashes-out-at-nato-allies-and-announces-a-review-of-us-forces-in-europe\/\">Pentagon chief lashes out at NATO allies and announces a review of US forces in Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While council members praise the fund for reviving many rec centers and helping to boost citywide neighborhood equity, they are criticizing how money from the opportunity fund gets allocated.<\/p>\n<p>Their primary concern is that the allocation formula punishes rec centers with large bank balances that city parks officials haven\u2019t managed to spend on facilities upgrades or activities.<\/p>\n<p>And that has led to a second important concern: Why aren\u2019t city parks officials spending those large balances at rec centers, even when those centers have conspicuous repair and renovation needs?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis process is absolutely flawed,\u201d said Councilmember Vivian Moreno, who represents many lower-income neighborhoods in the city\u2019s South Bay region. \u201cThe way this is being handled is not equitable. This is not what the intention was for these opportunity funds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Councilmember Sean Elo-Rivera, who represents City Heights and nearby areas, said an equity policy is useless if it only exists on paper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we create equity policies and those policies don\u2019t create equity on the ground, it makes us look like we are just full of it,\u201d Elo-Rivera said. \u201cPeople care about what\u2019s happening in their communities, not about the paper we\u2019re pushing around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The demands for change come at a time when the opportunity fund is significantly growing in size, thanks to rising city fees for field and room permits and a settlement with Surf Cup Sports.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The opportunity fund is rising to a record $555,000 during the new fiscal year that begins July 1, a 38% jump caused primarily by a sharp hike in city fees for field and room permits in spring 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the city\u2019s new agreement with Surf Cup \u2014 which leases city parkland near Del Mar \u2014 requires the company to contribute $100,000 per year to the opportunity fund starting next January.<\/p>\n<p>Moreno is frustrated that, despite the increase in funding, the rec centers she represents in District 8 are slated to get only $70,000 in the coming fiscal year \u2014 far less than the rec centers in Districts 4 and 9.<\/p>\n<p>The rec centers in District 9 are slated to receive $243,000, and the rec centers in District 4 are slated to receive $242,000.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There were similar disparities between those three lower-income districts in fiscal year 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is two years in a row District 8 has been left behind, and I\u2019m not going to stand for it,\u201d Moreno told her council colleagues Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Parks officials explained to Moreno that a key cause of the disparities is that her district\u2019s rec centers have an overall bank balance of $1.2 million, which works against them in the opportunity fund allocation formula by making them appear less needy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just happens there\u2019s been more money accumulated in the District 8 locations than the others,\u201d Andy Field, the city\u2019s director of parks and recreation, told Moreno. \u201cWe\u2019re all-in as far as trying to address this as best we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Moreno said her rec centers have huge needs, citing the lack of a scoreboard at Montgomery-Waller and inadequate dugouts at Memorial\u2019s ballpark.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a

homes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She said it\u2019s \u201cmind-boggling\u201d that Montgomery-Waller has a $302,000 bank balance but that city officials haven\u2019t managed to fix a scoreboard they estimate will cost\u00a0$34,000 to repair.<\/p>\n<p>She said it\u2019s similarly frustrating that city officials haven\u2019t upgraded the field at Memorial despite having enough money to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow do I look at a kid at Memorial and tell him, \u2018You can\u2019t play baseball because staff didn\u2019t spend the money\u2019?\u201d Moreno said. \u201cThe math\u2019s not mathing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the council rejected the proposed opportunity fund allocations for the new fiscal year and requested city officials come back June 29 with a new set of proposed allocations.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid needing to reduce proposed allocations in District 4 and District 9 in order to raise them in District 8, city officials said they may use some of the new Surf Cup money sooner than they had planned.<\/p>\n<p>Councilmember Kent Lee, who represents neighborhoods unaffected by the opportunity fund, suggested the city adjust the allocation formula to eliminate bank balances as a criterion.<\/p>\n<p>Khota Zaiser, an aide to Mayor Todd Gloria, committed to solving the problem of unspent fund balances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s get the dollars out the door,\u201d he said. \u201cI think the task for Parks and Rec is to figure out our work plan to get these dollars out quickly, so we don\u2019t end up in the same situation next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Councilmember Henry Foster, who represents District 4, said he\u2019d like to see timelines for spending the cash balances and suggested that tracking those balances become a formal part of the city\u2019s budget monitoring process.<\/p>\n<p>Elo-Rivera, who represents District 9, said the opportunity fund has made a real impact on some rec centers, particularly one in Stockton near state Route 94.<\/p>\n<p>That center now has Zumba classes, seminars for seniors, financial literacy classes, youth lunches and a variety of other programming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is in a community where the rec center was starved for resources to the point of barely having a pulse,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the few places where the community can feel safe and enriched. It\u2019s a beautiful, beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Council President Joe LaCava said growing pains are understandable for new programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity fund is just a few years old \u2014 it was built from scratch,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But LaCava said the fund\u2019s policies appear to be vague in many areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time to re-look,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity fund has steered $1.7 million total to more than a dozen rec centers since it was created in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesmovinginsider.com\/index.php\/2026\/06\/18\/trump-administration-pays-another-offshore-wind-project-to-pull-out-of-california\/\">Trump administration pays another offshore wind project to pull out of California<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While council members praise the fund for reviving many rec centers and helping to boost citywide neighborhood equity, they are criticizing how money from the opportunity fund gets allocated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Some of San Diego\u2019s neediest rec centers aren\u2019t getting the windfall they expected from a new fund.
