GVRD general manager outlines Measure P spending, contracts with VCUSD and Franklin renovation plans
Summary
Gabe Lanus, general manager of the Greater Vallejo Recreation District, said Measure P funds have been received and staff are developing spending plans for scholarships and family activities; he also described an impending contract with VCUSD and plans for Franklin gym renovation using Prop 608 funding subject to scaling.
Gabe Lanus, general manager of the Greater Vallejo Recreation District, briefed the committee on June 16 about the district’s Measure P funds and its work with the school district on contracts and facility programming.
The nut graf: Lanus said Measure P money has been received and staff are determining allocations consistent with required funding categories such as scholarships and family activities; he said GVRD expects to present a fuller report on summer programming and fund use by the end of the summer.
Lanus said GVRD is finalizing a standard contract with Vallejo City Unified School District for shared programming and expected to have it electronically signed soon. Regarding Franklin gym, he said the district has Prop 608 money for a renovation and a contractor lined up, but that the roughly $7.5 million figure will probably require scaling back the project. He said the district will do community outreach on proposed plans and that parking access remains an outstanding coordination item.
Lanus described facility reservation processes: each facility has a coordinator and supervisor managing its calendar, but the district does not publish a single, district‑wide public calendar showing holds and deposits. He said the fee schedule should be posted on the GVRD website and that picnic‑site availability is a commonly requested public feature.
Ending: Lanus said GVRD will return with more details on summer programs, contract execution and Franklin outreach; committee members urged posting reservation availability and fee schedules online.
