The Park and Recreation Commission <br />has requested to expend the unbudgeted Park and Playground Fund <br />balance.

At that time the continuance <br />of Revenue Sharing was uncertain. <br />Revenue Sharing has been continued and it is now anticipated that <br />receipts will amount to $52,000 in 1977. Combined with the balance <br />available at the end of 1976, $71,000 is available for Council <br />appropriation. <br />The Park and Recreation Commission would like to make the following <br />park improvements: <br />1. Greenfield Park - water line $8,000 est. <br />2. Greenfield Park - baseball field <br />4' wire fencing from player benches <br />to four poles (safety purposes) 1,700 est. <br />3.
