Citing increases in the most <br />recent estimates for these projects, the Commission unanimously voted to recommend that Park <br />Land Acquisition Funds be used to help fund these projects to ensure that both projects can get <br />underway as soon as possible. <br />The Commission recommended the transfer of up to $45,000 from the Park Land Acquisition <br />Fund to finance these two projects. Specifically, up to $35,000 to be used for the concrete <br />sidewalk improvement at Veterans Memorial Park and up to $10,000 to he used for general <br />construction costs for the Fire Barns -Skate Park Warming House project. <br />
