Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes <br />05-04-11 <br />and order the equipment in the next month. <br /> <br />Once all the equipment has been delivered Mr. Lee will have a practice session at the park with his band <br />so all the committee members can become familiar with using the equipment while there is a live <br />performance. <br /> <br />Committee Member Amundsen suggested a canopy to protect the equipment. Mr. Lee stated the City <br />already owns one that was purchased for the parade a few years ago. <br /> <br />IV. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES <br /> <br />April 6, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch requested making an addition to the following sentence on page 4 of 8 clarifying <br />Committee Member Seeley was speaking of Mill Road ‘Committee Member Seeley expressed concern <br />along Mill Road <br />over taking mature trees down for the trail project, but Mr. Palzer stated that has <br />already been determined by the plan.’ <br /> <br />Mr. Dallas Larson corrected ‘A plague at the base of the flag pole’ to a ‘plaque’ and also asked to clarify <br />on page 3 of 8 under the Trail Project that the steel grates were being installed to drain yards under the <br />trail to the ditch. <br /> <br />Committee Member Seeley requested changing the word ‘contact’ for ‘contract’ on page 5 of 8 under <br />Music in the Parks. Committee Member Seeley also requested changing the year from 2001 to 2011 on <br />page 5 of 8 under Potential Eagle Scout Project. <br /> <br />Committee Member Amundsen asked to include House Sparrows following Starlings on page 7 of 8 <br />under Bluebird House Update. <br /> <br /> Motion was made by Committee Member Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Haidento <br /> <br />approve the April 6, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes with the above <br />corrections. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br />Eagle Scout Flag Project <br /> <br />This item was discussed under Appearances. <br /> <br />Change in Budget Line Expense Reporting <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch updated the committee on a discussion he had with Mr. Mike Jeziorski, Finance <br />Director regarding a recent monthly financial statement which showed the 8K Run line item as spending <br />113% of the budgeted amount for 2011. The $1,500 spent for the PA System was included in this line <br />item and Chairperson Branch’s concern was that it was misleading to the lay person and at the end of the <br />year the 8K Run would show as 200% appearing the run was over budget, when it was not. This brings <br />up too many questions and does not give Parks & Recreation the ability to watch their budget. This was <br />resolved by Mr. Jeziorski setting up a revenue reserve account and reserve expense account for Parks & <br />3 of 5 <br /> <br />
