SECTION E, 1C The Corporation IS an integral part of the operations of the City of Gilroy with regard to its educational, parks and recreational activities, and that the City in turn is dependent on the Corporation for the ongoing operation, maintenance and administration of the Gardens theme park and botanical gardens. The City considers the activity conducted by the Corporation of significant value and benefit to the City and its community. The City Council has committed its members and the City to a significantly increased role in the operations of the Gardens theme park and botanical gardens and the stewardship of the Corporation's assets. The City Council has assured the City of a significant voice in the Corporation by means of majority control of the Board by independent members of the City of Gilroy community. Additionally, the dedicated directorship held for a City Council member will insure that the governing body of the beneficiary organization (the City Council) will be attentive to the needs of the Corporation and vice versa.
