A ROYAL HILLS PLAY STRUCTURE: PARK FUND OPTION <br /> <br />Director Moore indicated that due to potential budget cuts in the General Fund, he <br />requested authorization from the Council to use money from the Park Fund to <br />purchase a play structure for Royal Hills Park. He stated the play structure was <br />listed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) as a General Fund item, but money <br />from the Park Fund would be used to purchase the structure now, and be <br />reimbursed from the General Fund at a later date. Director Moore stated the <br />balance in the Park Fund was $546,000. He also stated the cost for the play <br />structure was $38,000, including assembly and installation along with safety fiber. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated there are many violations with the current <br />structure. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked why not pay for the structure out of the General <br />Fund instead of the Park Fund, if the General Fund could cover the cost? <br />
