Due to the timing of the <br />Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application submittal, which Mr. Meyer also prepared, <br />Chairperson Peterson worked with Mr. Meyer using the committee's previous budget and trail plan to <br />prepare the Parks & Recreation Funds and Budget Proposal. The Federal Transportation Enhancement <br />Fund Application includes links or connections to all of Parks & Recreation's proposed trails. The Parks <br />& Recreation Committee's budget needed to be included with the grant application so the committee was <br />not able to review it prior to submittal with the grant application. <br /> <br />This budget shows a $68,578 deficit if all projects are completed. The committee has requested an annual <br />funding of $25,000 from the general fund to supplement these projects. The grant applied for will require <br />matching funds of $ 146,000 as the city contribution. This will be 25% of the entire cost. The budget was <br />being presented to City Council at a Budget Work Session at the same time as the Parks & Recreation <br />Committee was meeting. The committee would like to recommend to City Council approving the Parks & <br />Recreation Committee's portion of the 2006 Budget. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to accept the <br />2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Budget as prepared by Mr. John Meyer on August 16, 2005 <br />and submitted to City Council at the September 7, 2005 Budget Work Session. All in favor. Motion <br />passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Centennial Youth Hockey Association - Use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Hockey <br />Rink for the 2004-2005 Season <br /> <br />Ms. Laurie Powers, Outdoor Ice Coordinator for the Centennial Youth Hockey Association (CYHA), sent <br />a request to the committee regarding the use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park ice rink for the 2005-2006 <br />hockey season. CYHA would like to use the rink for outdoor ice as they have in the past and are <br />requesting extended dedicated hours. CYHA is also requesting the rink for dry land training starting in <br />October, after tryouts and teams are placed, and continuing until outdoor ice is available or weather <br />permits. CHY A used the facilities for dry land practice during the 2004-2005 season. <br /> <br />20f5 <br />
