in the 1984 budget for the maintenance, purchasing of equipment,
security, programming and operation of the East Race Waterway Park,

Dear Council Members:
As you are aware, the Department of Public Parks officially opened the East
Race Waterway Park on June 29, 1984. Since no funds for the operation,
purchasing of equipment, staffing and police security are in the 1984 park
budget, there is a definite need to appropriate funds for the efficient
operation of the East Race.
The Park Department is fortunate to have funds in the General Park Fund which
are monies saved from the 1983 park budget and higher than anticipated park
revenue. According to the park statute, all funds in the park budget at the
end of the calendar year revert to the General Park Fund.
am requesting the Common Council to approve the enclosed ordinance appropri-
ating $80,000.00 from the General Park Fund to the Park Department maintenance
fund. The money will be spent to purchase equipment, hire additional personnel
such as life guards, cashiers, maintenance workers and added police security.
Because of the nature of the East Race, the Park and Recreation Department has
made safety our number one priority in the operation of the East Race. At this
date, I cannot give the Council an exact figure on the monies it will take to
operate the East Race for the balance of the year but feel confident that after
this years operation we will have a pretty good idea of the operational costs.
Recreation Director Robert Goodrich and myself would be happy to meet with the
Council to discuss the East Race appropriation ordinance.
Very truly yours,
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS
