_"_ _"' ..°.�...... cayc c 1 is the making of a 4' x B' sign advertising the special events, total cost of 590.00 and certificate pzeparation $64.00 - total $154.00. 4. Total average clerical costs =$63A.00. / �.. Administrative costs - These costs are beco�ing nore minuoal every year, but �aould include my tir,.e, brochure preparation, znd consultation. Approximately 40 hovrs/year is spent at an averaqe rate of $11.00/hour or $440.00. 1. Total administrative costs - $440.00. Total estimated in-kind servicea provided by City of Momds View to Lakeside Park - $3,783.28. In�addition to the projec[ed "in-kind service" costs as detailed, I would raise the Eollowinq questions in regards to the City's "£air share" for Lakeside Park: 1. Staff salaries - Hecause of the tiyht city budget, the recreation department has been forced to retrench the base pay rate for each of our summer part-time staPf positions. It is my understanding that the waqes at Lakeside Park have continued to incsease in the past few years as inflation has increased. The proposed rate o£ pay for the beach coordinator will be $3,000.00 in 1980. .The City of Mounds View's highest paid em�loyee is our athletic coordinator who rec_ives $800.00 for the suamer with a college degree in Physical Education, coaching certificate and three years of experience. 2. Park Develoom_nt - The City of nIOUr.3s View has proposed no park development ivad £rom the general fund�during the past three years. vte have experienced linited park development through the ParA and Playqround account; 19i6 -$40.00, 1977 - 515,775.00, 1975 -$12,261.00 and 1979 - B. � LakASide Park has been ehle to ?�1S^_Faaa _ nr_;3ar of capital outlay items includinq new docks,�playground equipment and a picnic shelter. 3. Savings Account Balance - It appears from the 1978 audit report that the Lakeside Patk Commission is currently ehowing a � positive bank balance of $18,000. After spea:cing with Councila,ember Rowley on 8/20/79 sha confirmed a balanea oi approximately $16,000 followinq the recent capital outlay expendi[ures of 52,000 for the picnic shelter. The general yuestion that I am raising centers around the level of aervice we are currently providing the city's parR systen as it relates to Lakesida Park. We have experienc=d a decline in our park maintenance acaount of approxir,.aGely 6.59 durinq the past two years not including the cost of inflatioa @10@/year or a totai reduction of 26&. Aiy premise being that we have suffered extreme retrenchment within the city's general fund allocation towards parks yet Lakeside Park has continue�l to naintain a�d even axperien:e minimal gro;ath during the sam,� period. `. Staff s•ould recom��nd that three o?tions be explozed in regards to the outcome of Lakeside Park: (rankad in priority)
