M E M O R A N D U M To: Common Council From: James R. Seitz y� Subject: Appropriate $3 ,754.00 from Park General Fund; $32,754.00 to Account 91260.0, Other Contractual Services; and $7,000.00 to Account 91440.0, General Park Materials Date: September 3, 1974 The Department of Parks received $39,754.00 from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, August 22, 1974, for a fifty per cent match of the site work at the King Recreation Center. This money was received to late to show in line 3, additional appropriations to be made July 1 to December 31, of present year, of the proposed budget for 1975. The Department is requesting the Council to approve the enclosed ordinance to appropriate $32,754.00 from the Park General Fund to account number 260.0, Other Contractual Services, for use as the cities share to match the $40,000.00 grant received from the American Revolution Bicentennial Commission. The Commission is anxious for the City to show some work on the Centennial and Pier Park and to receive the grant the City must show expenditures for work on the park site. The balance of the money, $7,000.00, would be appropriated from the General Park Fund to account number 440.0, General Park Materials to purchase materials for the installation of water and sewer lines for Belleville Park. Park personnel have roughed in two ball diamonds, tennis courts and parking lots at Belleville but we should install water and sewer lines at this time. The $39,754.00 received from B.O.R. is not federal taxes but funds received from permits for offshore oil wells, federal park fees, gun and fishing permits, etc. The Park Department feels that these funds are an excellent way to supplement our city funds for park improvements and will continue to try to use B.O.R. funds.
