Arden Hills Parks & Recreation Department <br /> 1989 Budget Adjustment Priorities <br /> There is no "fat" in the 1989 Park Budget. Items deducted from the 1989 <br /> budget will mean a cut in services or delay in purchasing capitol <br /> equipment. <br /> Deduction Priorities (#I first to go Misc) <br /> Capitol Equipment <br /> 1. Replace #35 mower Expense $13,000 <br /> This machine was purchased in 1977. This summer drought drastically <br /> reduced the use of all the mowing equipment. This machine could <br /> operate one more season without unforeseen major repairs. <br /> 2. Replace 1979 Chev. 1/2 Pick-up Expense $12,000 <br /> Present mileage 85,675 <br /> The floor boards, fenders, and box are showing definite rust and <br /> service. However, the truck is fairly sound mechanically. <br /> Replacement should not be delayed too long. <br /> 3. Lawn Sweeper Expense $ 4,000 <br /> Most of the Village Parks and public lands have mature trees. Rental <br /> lawn sweepers have been used for fall and spring clean ups. A lawn <br /> sweeper substantially shortens the clean-up time for public lands <br /> clean-up. <br /> 4. Cut the fourth part-time summer mt. employee <br /> Cut the shade tree program Expense $ ,990 <br /> This past summer the park crew was able to maintain athletic fields, <br /> water trees and maintain boulvards, install major equipment in Arden <br /> Manor, North Snelling, Freeway, and Lindeys Triangle, and do some <br /> trail development because the grass was not cut for eight weeks. This <br /> could not be done during normal growing seasons. <br /> 5. Delete part-time program person Expense $10,000 <br /> 6. Delete Summer Playground Program <br /> Income estimated $2,500 Program cost $8,380 Savings $5,800 <br /> 7. Delete warming house during skating season $11,000 <br />
