Once again the State of California wants to ELIMANATE THE OHV DIVISION AND TAKE AWAY ALL OF YOUR GREEN STICKER MONEY AND PUT IT INTO THE STATE PARKS SYSTEM. I think we all know that if this happens it will be the death of the OHV Program here in California and Responsible OHV Recreation as we know it now. Please find attached below two notices sent out by the State Disguised as harmless meetings. It is IMPORTANT that every Californian with a OHV attend this meeting to let their voice be heard and that they do not want the California State Parks system to take over the OHV Division. The State Parks system can not manage their own parks now and works at a loss while the OHV Division operates and sustains itself. Please make every attempt to go this meeting and let your voice be heard LOUD AND CLEAR that we do not want the State to take over the most successful OHV program in America and turn it into shambles. THE ONLY THING THAT THE STATE WANTS TO DO IS BE ABLE STEAL YOUR OHV GREEN STICKER MONEY LEAGALLY AND NOT HAVE TO PAY IT BACK. REMEMBER THEY HAVE TAKEN YOUR GREEN STICKER MONEY ON MANY OCASSIONS IN THE PAST AND HAVE NOT PAID IT BACK. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR THEM TO ROB YOUR MONEY AND SHUT DOWN RESPONSIBLE OHV RECREATION IN CALIFORNIA.
NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION
The Department of Parks and Recreation serves the public by bringing families and friends together and providing a wide array of recreational opportunities for the benefit and enjoyment of all people while protecting and preserving California's most significant natural and cultural resources. The Department accomplishes this not only through delivering services to 280 parks across the state, but also through programs that support local, regional and national recreation activities.
The Off Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) program is a vital program that is recognized across the country as the leader in off-highway vehicle recreation. While the department operates nine State Vehicular Recreation Areas, the vast majority of recreation occurs on other lands supported through this robust program.
On June 3, 2016, Department Director Lisa Mangat provided an update to the Off-Highway Vehicle Commission and members of the public on the department’sOrganizational Structure Opportunities project. At that meeting Director Mangat stated that there would be additional opportunities for public engagement in this process.
The open house will provide a forum for the public to learn about this Organizational Structure Opportunities project from the Department, and for the Department to hear from the stakeholders. The Members of the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Commission have been invited to attend; the Commission will not be taking any action on any matters at this Open House.
