Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 02 -03 -10 provide the City Council with a budget amendment on these two items. Moving forward there will be a separate line item for the 81C included in the budget and the committee will be involved in the budget process as it involves the Parks & Recreation budget. The overall budget for Parks & Recreation is $10,382.50, but discretionary funds are $2,500, of which most has already been spent with committing $1,500 to the YMCA Summer Program and $750 to the Skate Nights/Horse Drawn Hayride. Committee Member Seeley asked about the 2010 Trail & Park Project and funding for the matching portion of the $750,000 grant. Mayor Capra said bonding would be done for the matching portion with future downtown Park Dedication Fees used for payback. Committee Member Haiden questioned whether the committee will know what funds they have to work with when the 2010 Trail & Park Project starts if for instance one portion comes in under budget would those funds be able to be used elsewhere on the project? One example would be adding the pergola back into the Cornerstone Park if additional funding was available. The committee discussed the need to find other options for funding projects since Park Dedication Fees in all probability will not be available for the committee's discretionary use. Mr. Jeziorski stated moving forward any donations that come into the City specifically for the Parks & Recreation Committee such as charitable gambling needs to earmarked for a deferred project if not spent in that year. The committee would like to use the $1,500 donation from American Family Insurance for the Music in the Parks Program in 2010. IV.
