summarised by suggesting that $86,184,00 come from
the General Fund for Annual Operation and $23,SOO,tlO
from the Park Fund for the Capital Improvements
Program. The proposed budget totaled $109,684.00
excluding any changes in the Directors salary. A

recommended that if the City were [o gu�sue success-
fully a bond issue in ear2y 29:5 - for p�rk develoo-
ment and acquis3tion - that bond monies replace
the requested funds from the Park Fund. This would
free up the Park Fund for a special investment that
the Council may c�mnt to pursue at a later date. He
added that he £elt the community was ready and the
residents receptive to a bond issue for parks.

he write a formal proposal for development and
acquisition through a bond issue and bring 1t to
the next Commission Meeting.

ARDAN PARK The last item on the agenda was Ardan Park. The
Gicy Hnginee,- rayuae*_ed to r��n sewer and water 50
feet onto park property in an attempt to reduce
� assessment costs for the project and to reduce the
amount of County Road which would t�ave to be torn
up. The Director pointed out tUat this would
elimix�ate almost all trees on park property however,
since the Park was established at relatively no
cost to the City, he recommended tUat the sewer and
water be placed on park property, as Iong as the
park was regraded and trees were moved and replanted.
Motion by Commissiones Hodges to save the trees where
possible by agreement, but to allow sewer and water
on park property. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Fedor. The motion passed 4 Ayes to
