ADMINISTRATOR ACHEN'S REPORT
Administrator Achen read the memorandum from the Park Director
regarding the cost of improvements at Greenfield Park, which was
more than estimated.
Mayor Johnson moved that the recommendation of the Park Director
regarding the improvement of the Greenfield Park ditch be accepted
with the additional request for expenditure out of revenue sharing
1975. of $954. This motion was seconded by Councilman Hodges.
Councilman Shelquist said that everytime we overrun I don't think
we should go into revenue sharing. He suggested taking it out
of the excess $3000. Mayor Johnson agreed.
Councilman Pickar also agreed with this. Councilman Baumgartner
felt that the Park Director had made an estimate to the best of his
ability and would prefer it taken from revenue sharing.
Councilman Shelquist moved that the motion be amended to read that
the expenditure of $950 be made first out of 1975 budget surplus
to the extent that they are available at the end of the year and that
the remainder be taken from the revenue fund. This motion was
seconded by Councilman Pickar and a roll call vote was requested.
