- - -- ----- -- ---- ----- -- F.. c r;R: (7 l1. - FROM: Honorable Mayor & City Council Members Kim Stephan ~ TO: SUBJECT: 2006 Parks & Recreation Budget DA TE: September 8,2005 The following recommendation was made by the Parks & Recreation Committee at the September 7, 2005 regularly scheduled committee meeting. The Parks & Recreation Committee reviewed the Parks & Recreation Funds and Budget Proposal dated August 15, 2005 which was prepared by Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director. Due to the timing of the Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application submittal, which Mr. Meyer also prepared, Chairperson Peterson worked with Mr. Meyer using the committee's previous budget and trail plan to prepare the Parks & Recreation Funds and Budget Proposal. The Federal Transportation Enhancement Fund Application includes links or connections to all of Parks & Recreation's proposed trails. The Parks & Recreation Committee's budget needed to be included with the grant application so the committee was not able to review it prior to submittal with the grant application. This budget shows a $68,578 deficit if all projects are completed. The committee has requested an annual funding of $25,000 from the general fund to supplement these projects. The grant applied for will require matching funds of $146,000 as the city contribution. This will be 25% of the entire cost. The budget was being presented to City Council at a Budget Work Session at the same time as the Parks & Recreation Committee was meeting. The committee would like to recommend to City Council approving the Parks & Recreation Committee's portion of the 2006 Budget. Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to accept the 2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Budget as prepared by Mr. John Meyer on August 16, 2005 and submitted to City Council at the September 7, 2005 Budget Work Session. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. /4 - -----------
