Pine Bluff`s Parks and Recreation is facing tough financial times despite operating on a $1.1 million budget.
The department has fallen behind on several bills and is now the subject of an investigation alleging financial misuse.
At issue, is the use of a city credit card for personal spending by Rickey Parks, the Park and Rec Director.
"We formed a commission (Thursday) for that very purpose of looking into charge card first to make a determination of how they have been used," said Mac Norton, a Parks and Rec Commissioner.
All five commissioners will meet on December 11th to discuss the findings of that investigation.
Parks didn`t return repeated phone calls.
