These include the addition of expenses for interim <br />finance director services, reduction in health insurance costs, as well as a <br />transfer from the General Fund to the General Capital Improvement Fund. <br />The Administrator then began a review of staff's October 22, 2012 report <br />outlining changes to the proposed 2013 Capital Improvement Program. <br />The first area reviewed was the General Capital Improvement Fund 400. <br />On the revenue side, the Administrator noted that revenue budgeted for the <br />sale of Twin Lake land ($500,400) was removed from this budget as it <br />doesn't seem likely that a sale will occur in the foreseeable future. Also <br />the General Fund transfer of $373,660 approved at the last meeting was <br />added. The net impact was a reduction in revenues of $126,740. This <br />causes the last year of the five -year program to go into a deficit. The <br />Administrator indicated that to resolve this, staff is recommending <br />removal of the lower Spooner Park shelter improvement in the amount of <br />$200,000 in 2017. <br />
