~ .. ~ <br />Park and Recreation Commission Policy Item <br />• <br />Policy Item: Transfer money from the Falcon Heights Friends of the Parks Fund to the <br />Recreation Scholarship account. <br />Submitted By: Lisa Anderson, Recreation Supervisor <br />Reviewed By: Crreg Hoag, Director of Parks and Public Works <br />Roland Olson, Finance Director <br />Summary: The recreation budget includes a line item for scholarships for families who <br />cannot afford to pay for recreation programs. This budget line item for donations to <br />support the scholarship program, in 2005 was $460.00; currently $152.00 has been <br />received. This past summer 25 families requested scholarships, totaling $436.00. <br />Staff recommends a transfer of $284.00 to the scholarship fund from the Friends of the <br />Parks Fund. This transfer will help the Scholarship Account continue to provide <br />recreation opportunities for those who could not otherwise afford them. <br />Action Requested: Recommend to the City Council a transfer of $284.00 from the <br />Falcon Heights Friends of the Park Fund to the Recreation Scholarship account to offset <br />the cost of the scholarship program. <br />
