e . e ~ ~ EN HILLS MEMORANDUM TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant @!) SUBJECT: 2002 Budget Discussion Items DATE: December 14,2001 Staff would encourage Council discussion and/or direction on the following proposed 2002 budget items at the December 17, 2001, Council Worksession bearing in mind that a later December 17, 2001, Special Council Meeting agenda item includes the adoption of2002 budget. 1. Mavor and Council Department No. 41100 of General Fund No. 101- Miscellaneous Community Events (AlC No. 4900). Councilmember Aplikowski has questioned whether the proposed $10,000 budgeted expenditure will be adequate to fund remaining 50th Celebration activities and a separate 2002 event (i.e" successor to the "Day in the Park" prior to year 2002 activity). 2. Park Maintenance Department No, 45200 of the General Fund No. 101 - Other Equipment (AlC No. 5400). Councilmember Larson communicated the wishes of the Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee (PTRC) to replace the Freeway Park and Hazelnut Park warming houses as part of the 2002 capital budget. The proposed $70,000 budgeted expenditure does not include these two items. What is included in the proposed budget are replacements for vehicle #13 (a 1995 pickup with a $42,000 replacement cost) and equipment item #49 (a 1995 Grounds Master with blower at a replacement cost of $28,000). The PTRC did not identify a project cost or recommend a funding source. As posted out in the December 6, 2001, City Accountant overview memo for the December 10, 2001, Truth in Taxation Hearing, staff expectations are that the "wants" of the Parks strategic planning effort will exceed identifiable resources such that individual projects will need to be costed and prioritized by the City Council. In the absence of the results of this exercise, it is difficult to determine how these two warming house replacement projects would rank.
