Conclusion <br />Based on public participation hearings, invitations to solicit comments, staff and consultant <br />input, the City of Paris should proceed with development and refurbishment of the parks <br />and recreation facilities in Paris. The argument will surely be made that parks and <br />recreation facilities like tennis courts and swimming pools cost money to build and operate <br />and are surely "money losers ". The public should keep in mind, however, that streets and <br />sidewalks are not money- makers either to any extent. For that matter, police and fire <br />departments are not self supporting. There are simply some things in city government that <br />the public demands acknowledging the fact that there will be little or no revenues to off -set <br />expenses of providing those facilities. <br />The adoption and implementation of this plan will meet the goals and objectives set out in <br />Section 4 of this plan. <br />-30- <br />
