The Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County has already referred a resolution to the Board of Supervisors urging establishment of a regional park system. Supervisor William Hirstein has been directed to study the proposal and make recommendations to the board. Stronach, in his communication, describes efforts of a 31-member Citizens' Committee which recently made an exhaustive analysis of Anaheim's present and future park and recreation needs.
