This list also included a volleyball court at <br />LaMotte Park which was completed in September, 2013. <br /> <br />The Committee estimates that by the end of the year there will be in excess of $1,000 <br />from the difference of true expenditures versus budgeted amount and requests that <br />Council consider placing this amount into a dedicated fund for park improvements for <br />2014 (drinking fountains, electrical upgrades, programmable locks, etc. This item along <br />with a “projects list” is tabled until the December meeting. <br /> <br />7.
