Police protection and passable roads are essential services. And until they're fully funded, I'm with Brenda. Let private groups do the planting and weeding. Plants are pretty.

The City should take care of the large city parks, but these small areas are a good place for neighborhoods and clubs groups to take on as a project for their members. Their investment in the city so to speak, and not one that would take a great deal of effort or money. Other cities are doing this. Portland, Oregon is one of them. Small garden spots are "adopted" by groups much as streets and roads are adopted. It works. There is also the fact that we saw last year when the county budget cut out some of the fat that should not have been in the budget in the first place. These groups and/or projects are still being funded somehow without the help of the tax payer. Of course there is still some whining going on and unfortunately the commissioners appear to be giving in to it. However if they just hold out another year or two it will be seen that the taxpayers needn't pay for these special interest things at all and the whiners will go away.
