maintenance expenditures. However, since the courts at Cummings will be completely reconstructed, it seems appropriate to utilize this fimd. . $13,750 has been budgeted for trail resurfacing, repairs, etc... from Park Maintenance. $8,750 of that is for the Mounds View High School tennis court reconstruct which was approved to be taken out of the general fund in 2007. The remaining $5,000 is budgeted for trail resurfacing/repairs. A goal of the department will be an assessment of our trail system and establishment of a maintenance program for parks and trails, We have had discussions with Roseville to get quotes on establishing a PMP type trail assessment for the City of Arden Hills. The Sanitation/Waste Removal (outdoor bathrooms & dumpster fees) line item in Park Maintenance has been over budget for over two years. After looking at the breakdoWll of costs associated with this, we increased from $2,400 budgeted in 2006 to $5,000 in 2007. Recreation is planning to have an intern/programming position added to the overall salary cost. We budgeted this position at 26 weeks x $15.00/hr x 40 hours ~ $15,600. The proposed budget includes funds for new registration software for the Recreation Department. We would like to explore utilizing new software that will allow online registrations. This can be done with a small set up fee and yearly maintenance fee. Staff budgeted $5,000 as an estimated set up cost/first year fee. Staff would bring a comprehensive report forward to Council for discussion on this item. . The law enforcement budget summary was attached with the agenda item regarding RaJDsey County Sheriffs Department. I included an increase of approximately 4% at this time. The LJFD proposed budget contemplates a 6.93% increase for the Arden Hills share of the budget. A summary is attached. The UFD Capital budget is still under review but we anticipate approximately $49,000 for 2007. It should be noted that sometime in 2006 or 2007 we will also need to pay approximately $20,000 for 800 MHz radios. In addition, at some time in 2006 or 2007 we will also be paying a share towards a fire engine. Staff is going to schedule a work session discussion in the near future regarding the UFD capital budget. Mayor/Council salaries are included at the current rate. SchaWll put some data together for Council's information and it is attached. For discussion purposes we included $5,000 for Northwest Youth and Family Services, plus an additional $1,000 for the annual Meeting contribution. SchaWll spoke with St. Mary's Church regarding the contribution they make on our behalf. There has been a verbal agreement since the mid-1990's for an annual $12,000 contribution. St. Mary's typically exceeds that contribution level (which also exceeds our contract requirement). .
