Indicate and briefly describe any actions that have been carried out to implement this Resolution: 
Acci�nDescripciónStatus
Recaudaci�n de fondosJack London Park Partners receives no funds from State Parks to subsidize the management and operation of the park, depending entirely on volunteers, private donations, park fees, and revenue from events hosted there to execute programming, maintain the grounds and administer operations. Events hosted there include guided nature hikes, bird watching, and Broadway Under the Stars, a series of summer musical events that are often reserved far in advance and bring in much of the year's revenue. They host many private events as well, including weddings, parties, and picnics. On-going

Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas: 
Since 2013, revenue has increased from $273,541 to $529,489.00, an increase of 94%. Use of the park has increased, with more locals visiting in addition to outside visitors.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?: 
Being the first park in the area to make the change over to community operation, plans, boards, and policies had to be drawn up. There were no frameworks in place. The passing of the bill which allowed private groups to take over was critical. Securing funding was also a necessity, knowing donations wouldn't keep them operational indefinitely.
