Session 1783 - Budget Meeting <br />May 17, 2000 <br /> <br />budgeted at for her soapbox derby event. Mr. Ollendorff said that the straw and equipment <br />would have come out of the parks budget and the teens she used from the summer <br />playground budget. Responding to Mr. Schoomer, Mr. Ollendorff stated that meals were <br />not included in the summer recreation programs. Responding to Ms. Colquitt, Mr. <br />Ollendorff stated that he did not budget funds for her city wide picnic. He suggested that <br />she put in her request. Ms. Colquitt explained the event to the rest of Council. Mr. <br />Ollendorff said that the City donated some staff and helped set up the course. Mr. <br />Schoomer stated that this is starting a precedent that we really can't support. Mr. <br />Lieberman stated donations and voluntary contributions are the best way to handle this. <br />The Mayor offered to write a letter for her, if needed. The City will not donate money to this <br />event. <br /> <br />3540 COMMUNITY CENTER: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that last year the remodeling of the Community Center was pretty much <br />finished. Mayor Adams said that it looked really great. <br /> <br />3550 AQUATICS: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendofff said that extra monies were budgeted for the weekend morning swim <br />program. No monies were budgeted in anticipation of winning a grant for pool repair. He <br />would recommend if a grant is won, that it would go onto a rec facility bond issue. <br /> <br />3570 HEMAN PARK RECREATION FACILITY: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said maintenance was being put off since the City was considering <br />remodeling the whole thing. Temporary and Part time pay has increased to include a <br />couple of new teen programs. Under 728.05, Education Benefits, is a new program to <br />provide training programs for the Sports Association coaches. Responding to Mr. Wagner, <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that the need for a Recreation Facility bond issue would be studied <br />further by Council at the June 3r~ Study Session. <br /> <br />6000 SUNDRY AND CONTINGENCIES: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that last year we allocated a contingency of $259,000 and used it all. <br />Mr. Ollendorff suggests not budgeting a contingency this next fiscal year. He believes that <br />this is a duplication of the reserves and does not seem to make sense to him. The <br />contingency is the reserves. The next two items show where we are paying the Debt <br />Repayment out of the General Fund. These used to be paid as a separate fund from <br />property tax revenue as shown on page C-88. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
