Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 02-03-10 <br /> <br />provide the City Council with a budget amendment on these two items. Moving forward there will <br />be a separate line item for the 8K included in the budget and the committee will be involved in the <br />budget process as it involves the Parks & Recreation budget. <br /> <br />The overall budget for Parks & Recreation is $10,382.50, but discretionary funds are $2,500, of <br />which most has already been spent with committing $1,500 to the YMCA Summer Program and <br />$750 to the Skate Nights/Horse Drawn Hayride. Committee Member Seeley asked about the 2010 <br />Trail & Park Project and funding for the matching portion of the $750,000 grant. Mayor Capra said <br />bonding would be done for the matching portion with future downtown Park Dedication Fees used <br />for payback. Committee Member Haiden questioned whether the committee will know what funds <br />they have to work with when the 2010 Trail & Park Project starts if for instance one portion comes <br />in under budget would those funds be able to be used elsewhere on the project? One example <br />would be adding the pergola back into the Cornerstone Park if additional funding was available. <br /> <br />The committee discussed the need to find other options for funding projects since Park Dedication <br />Fees in all probability will not be available for the committee’s discretionary use. Mr. Jeziorski <br />stated moving forward any donations that come into the City specifically for the Parks & <br />Recreation Committee such as charitable gambling needs to earmarked for a deferred project if not <br /> <br />spent in that year.The committee would like to use the $1,500 donation from American Family <br />Insurance for the Music in the Parks Program in 2010. <br /> <br />IV.
