<br /> <br /> <br />DATE: April 13, 2000 <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: Terri Blattenbauer <br /> YMCA Program Executive <br /> <br />RE: Request for transfer of “old” Recreation funds <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The reason for this request is two-fold. First of all, I am aware of $100,000 surplus from <br />the Park & Recreation fund prior to transition to the YMCA. On behalf of the Park & <br />Recreation Commission, we would like to transfer that amount to the Park dedication <br />fund. There has been much discussion at recent meetings regarding the Park dedication <br />fund and the longevity of it, but also the future of this fund with no apparent development <br />in the community. <br /> <br />Secondly, the Park & Recreation Commission have seen results of services and offerings <br />at the Community Center and in the community. We are in need of continuing to think to <br />the future and how we can best serve the community. In doing so, the Commission has <br />given me direction to pursue 5 pieces of fitness equipment to enhance our offerings at the <br />Community Center. The cost of this equipment is under $5,000. One of the <br />Commissioners is willing to provide quality, industrial strength equipment at cost, to his <br />company. The intent would be to pay for this equipment from the Park dedication fund <br />once the $100,000 has been approved for transfer. If this would not be the Council’s <br />wishes, the Commission may not favor this purchase and enhancement as the remaining <br />Park dedication funds of $137,895 are preliminarily best suited for investment. <br /> <br />Please advise staff on the two requisitions: <br />1. Transfer of $100,000 from “old” Recreation fund to Park dedication fund. <br />2. Purchase of 5 pieces of fitness equipment
