FUND FUNCTION ACTIVITY
GENERAL FUND RECREATION & CULTURAL
SERVICES
CULTURAL SERVICES
History located in Exposition Park, the George C. Page Museum
at the La Brea Tar Pits and the William S. Hart Museum in
Newhall. The Recommended Budget reflects a net County cost
decrease of $240,000 primarily attributed to the deletion of
one-time carryover funding, partially offset by an increase in
the Consumer Price Index based cost-of-living adjustment.
Critical/Strategic Planning Initiatives
The Museum continues to implement its strategic plan, which
is consistent with the County’s Strategic Plan. Through the
strategic planning process, the Museum will identify and
prioritize programs for funding in fiscal year (FY) 2011-12 that
furthers its mission.
