Distinct Ownership and Statutory Foundations
• City-Brooks Park is a dedicated, historical public park owned entirely in the public trust by BREC. Its underlying land deeds and statutory definitions are unburdened by complex state highway or university infrastructure mandates.
• The University Lakes System is a highly fragmented environmental drainage network split across multiple titles, including LSU, the State of Louisiana, and City-Parish public works infrastructure.
2. The Constitutional and Financial Reality
• Infrastructure vs. Recreation: The ongoing restoration of the Lakes is fundamentally a massive, state-backed environmental infrastructure and stormwater management project. City-Brooks Park is a recreational asset.
• The Risk of Commingling: Forcing a clear recreational asset into an infrastructure governance model creates a severe commingling of public funds. Taxpayer dollars dedicated to local recreation should never be entangled with the multi-million dollar environmental liabilities of state-owned water bodies.
3. The Pro-Public Position
Our campaign is entirely supportive of the environmental restoration of the University Lakes. However, an infrastructure crisis on state-owned lakes must not be used as a political lever to absorb and privatize a completely separate, fully functional public park asset like City-Brooks Park.
