MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />DECEMBER 5, 1990 <br />Expenditures, as well as Park funding sources for 1989, <br />1990 and proposed 1991. The City Administrator pointed <br />out that the $25,000 proposed 1991 funding from the <br />City has not been programmed in the budget. The <br />Administrator also pointed out that the $72,500 <br />transfer to Park Development and $52,200 transfer to <br />Park Equipment have not been made, and it is <br />questionable whether these funds will be available to <br />transfer. The Administrator pointed out that the 1990 <br />Estimated Actual Budget shows an excess of $73,163.00 <br />to allocate. However, this is not a firm figure. <br />Factors that may affect this amount (+ or -) include a <br />bill from the contractor for $43,000 for storm damage <br />clean-up. The City has a donation of $15,000 toward <br />this clean-up. The costs of the storm clean-up are <br />being verified. Another factor is 1990 Super Summer <br />costs, and whether the additional pledges toward this <br />program will be forthcoming. Other factors that may <br />effect the excess is whether or not the City can cut <br />back on Animal Control and/or other consultant fees. <br />Blesener pointed out that the 1990 Estimated Actual <br />figures are only estimated, therefore, the $73,163 <br />excess amount could go up or down once actual figures <br />are known. The Administrator agreed, and suggested <br />that the City determine what transfers can be made once <br />actual figures are known. An amendment can be made to <br />the 1991 Budget based on the actual numbers. <br />Council reviewed the expenditures made from 1990 Park <br />Equipment Budget, and it was suggested that the warming <br />house may have to be deleted. Council discussed the <br />fact that $20,000 of City funds is budgeted for the <br />warming house construction, and there are commitments <br />from various organizations for additional funding. It <br />was also pointed out that hockey rink construction was <br />over-budget, and the balance of funds needed to pay for <br />the hockey rink were taken from the warming house <br />allocation. <br />Fahey suggested that any further expenditures out of <br />the Park Fund would have to be put on hold for this <br />year due to the condition of the General Fund Budget. <br />Morelan expressed concern that the Park and Recreation <br />area is being penalized for other departments that are <br />over-budget. Fahey suggested that rather than penalize <br />the Recreation Department, monies should be taken out <br />of the Park Development Fund. <br />The Administrator pointed out that the Council has not <br />completed its review of the 1991 Budget, and suggested <br />that some additional dollars could be generated from <br />Page 6 <br />
