<br />..... <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Kim Stephan <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />October 9, 2009 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Budget Request <br /> <br />Committee Member Branch was not in attendance but asked via email: According to the budget <br />material presented at last month's meeting we are under spending the 2009 allocations. Will those <br />funds be spent this year? Could those funds be reprogrammed to pay for some of the items on the 2010 <br />list? <br /> <br />Mr. Dallas Larson responded: Generally unspent operating budgets are not carried over, but roll into <br />the fund balance. The Council can take action to allow carryover, but normally there should be a <br />specific plan or item to justify that. <br /> <br />The committee had requested funding for an irrigation system in Hidden Spring Park, August 2009 for <br />$6,884.00. This was close to the remaining balance in the Parks & Recreation budget for 2009. Due <br />to budget constraints City Council did not approve this recommendation at that time. The Parks & <br />Recreation Committee would like City Council to consider rolling the remaining Parks & Recreation <br />balance for 2009 into the 2010 Parks & Recreation Budget to potentially use these funds for the <br />irrigation at Hidden Spring in 2010. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Haiden, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen <br />to request City Council consider rolling the remaining Parks & Recreation balance for 2009 into <br />the 2010 Parks & Recreation Budget to potentially use these funds for the irrigation at Hidden <br />Spring Park in 2010. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
