The La Jolla Community Foundation has agreed to fund the seven fire pits at La Jolla Shores if other groups are willing to pay to operate their community fire pits. It costs $4,550 to maintain the seven fire pits annually, according to the La Jolla Community Foundation. The city’s Park and Recreation Department would not permit the foundation to finance only the La Jolla Shores fire pits because the money has to go into a fund to maintain the 186 fire pits citywide, according to Erin Demorest, spokeswoman for District 1 Councilmember Sherri Lightner.
