Re: 2016 Budget
Background:
Each year the Parks and Recreation Committee works on a budget for the following year to
recommend to the City Council for adoption. Staff will be preparing a draft budget in June and
July to present recommendations to the City Council. The City Council must certify the
maximum tax levy by September 30, 2015 to the County. This agenda item was postponed to
the June 1, 2015 meeting at the May 4, 2015 meeting.
Issue:
What recommendations should the Committee make to the City Council for the Parks and
Recreation Expense 2016 Budget?
Proposal Details/Fiscal Impacts:
Included in your packet is a draft budget for Parks and Recreation expenses for 2016 prepared
by Staff.
You will note under “530 Capital Improvements” a proposed budget of $9,500. This proposed
budget is for $7,500 improvements at the Erickson lighted ball field to include new ble achers
and pad. (This expense is offset by funding that is dedicated specifically for improvements at
the ball field. There is an annual $150 advertising sign fee that provides revenue to this fund.)
In addition, $2,000 is designated for wetland restoration at Lilleskogen.
