Pima County postponed a contract renewal with the Rillito Park Foundation in December because it included too many county paid improvements to the Rillito Park. Now the county is planning to offer the foundation an extension of up to one year. The foundation is looking for a long term commitment from the county, which would make seeking private donations for improvements much easier.
