1111 <br /> MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Staff <br /> DATE: August 30 , 1983 <br /> RE: 1983-84 Budget Priorities <br /> Staff has attached two items regarding budget priority issues <br /> relating to both 1983 and 1984 . The first is a breakdown of <br /> the capital improvement items which were submitted by the <br /> city department heads and have been reviewed by both management <br /> and council . As can be noted in the priority list, there are <br /> four park projects in the top ten priorities of the City Council <br /> including a park projects fund, Random Park tot lot, hockey rink <br /> fencing, and a mower-tractor for the park maintenance division. <br /> The major difficulty was in the capital improvement projects as <br /> proposed by staff is that there is not currently enough money <br /> to even fund the top two priorities . The City Council has <br /> indicated at their August 29 meeting that they would like staff <br /> to at least propose figures as to what increase in taxes would <br /> be required to fund the top ten projects , but at this time no <br /> committment has been made to any of the proposed capital requests <br /> and staff will keep the commission apprised of any change or <br /> • <br /> progress in this issue . <br /> In addition, staff has included the Y <br /> Augustprint-outs for your <br /> 9 <br /> review to give you an idea of the kind of budgetary information <br /> that staff receives on a monthly basis as well as to give you <br /> an opportunity to ask any questions as to where dollars are being <br /> allocated or the status of our budget at its mid-year point. <br /> As staff indicated, we receive print-outs similar to this on a <br /> monthly basis for not only recreation and park accounts but also <br /> recreation activity, forestry and Lakeside Park . It appears at <br /> this time from preliminary observations that staff will be able <br /> to maintain our existing level of service within budget for the <br /> remainder of 1983 . <br /> Major issues that the Park Commission needs to discuss in this <br /> area are any potential discussion or further support data that <br /> may want to be provided to the City Council for capital improve- <br /> ment projects as well as respond to any questions you may have <br /> or concerns about the 1983 budget update . <br /> BKA/sll <br /> Attachment <br />
