Measure R funds can be used for implementation of the updated Town of Mammoth Lakes Trail System Master Plan, as well as the updated Parks and Recreation Master Plan. MLTPA was engaged with the development of Measure R from the beginning, and MLTPA board members committed significant time and financial resources to the Measure R campaign. The MLTPA Foundation committed critical staff time and resources to the Measure R effort as well.
The Yes on Mammoth Measure R Committee was the dedicated group of citizens who did the heavy lifting to get Measure R passed. The Committee members were Jay Deinken, Lisa Isaacs, Jason Marsh, Peter Maw, Lindsay Blake Smith, Joyce Turner, Eric Wasserman, and John Wentworth. The Committee received significant support from MLTPA and the Mammoth Lakes Chamber of Commerce -- shout-outs all around!
