<br />City Council Meeting Minutes <br />June 13,2001 <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that she understood that Council was <br />aware that by using Parks and Recreation funds for the electrical at Laurie LaMotte <br />Memorial Park, the Parks and Recreation Committee would need to request additional <br />funds from Council. She then indicated that the improvements need to be made this year <br />for the Fete Des Lacs Festival or the softball tournament would need to be cancelled. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated she thought Parks and Recreation would be asking for <br />money in another year not this year. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the items would have been included as part <br />of the original work order but were accidentally omitted. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson stated that Parks and Recreation did not have the money in the <br />budget for the projects. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated that Council used <br />the Parks and Recreation budget for the electrical at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra stated she thought Council only used park dedication fees for the <br />electrical. Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that if Council only took the <br />park dedication fees, then there would be money in the Parks and Recreation budget. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated the matter could not be tabled since the <br />City would need to cancel the Fete des Lacs softball tournament if the improvements are <br />not made. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked if moving the fences was permanent. Council Member <br />Broussard Vickers indicated that it was. <br /> <br />Mr. March questioned where Parks and Recreation got the estimates for moving the <br />backstop.
