Dear Mr. Parent:
The Department of Public Parks respectfully requests the Common
Council to approve the enclosed ordinance for transfer of funds in the
General Park Fund.
The department is requesting that $38,129.85 be transferred from
and to various accounts as follows:
FROM: Account 241.0, Services Contractual, Printing, the amount
of $300.00. All necessary purchases for 1975 have been made. Budget
for 1975 - $1,400.00.
FROM: Account 520.0, Current Charges, Rents, the amount of
$500.00. The department has improvised its own equipment on many jobs,
thus eliminating at times costly rental of equipment. Budget for
1975 - $2,000.00.
FROM: Account 580.0, Current Charges, Gross Income Taxes, the
amount of $915.92. The anticipated heavy increase in miscellaneous
receipts as projected fell short. Budget for 1975 - $6,000.00.
FROM: Account 620.0, Current Obligations, Social Security, the
amount of $9,908.12. By using C.E.T.A. and temporary employees this
year, a vast savings was realized in this account. Budget for
1975 - $90,500.00.
FROM: Account 630.0, Current Obligations, Retirement, the amount
of $25,005.81. The same as above; utilizing C.E.T.A. and temporary
employees who are not eligible for retirement accounted for this
balance. Budget for 1975 - $102,000.00.
FROM: Account 710.0, Properties, Buildings Structures and
Improvement, the amount of $1,500.00. No purchases were made from this
account in 1975, thus the balance of $1,500.00.

TO: Account 214.0, Services Contractual, Telephone, the amount
of $1,000.00. Rate increases have practically left this account in
a helpless situation. Budget for 1975 - $7,500.00.
TO: Account 221.0, Services Contractual, Electric Current, the
amount of $15,518.85. A shortage has occurred in this account because
of underbudgeting, the added rate increases and the addition of
lighted park and recreational facilities. Budget for 1975 - $63,000.00.
TO: Account 251.0, Services Contractual, Buildings, Structures
and Repair, the amount of $1,000.00. This is one account which is
difficult to budget as no one can foresee what repair problems may
come up. Many a times we sit in frustration when boiler and refrigera-
tion breakdowns occur. Budget for 1975 - $7,000.00.
TO: Account 260.0, Services Contractual, Other Contractual
Services, the amount of $1,500.00. Increases in landfill charges,
exterminating and veterinarian fees have caused a shortage in this
account. Budget for 1975 - $22,575.00.
TO: Account 321.0, Supplies, Gasoline, the amount of $8,000.00.
Continued increases in prices and heavier mowing of grass this year have
been a constant drain on this account. Budget for 1975 - $26,500.00.
TO: Account 331.0, Supplies, Household, Laundry and Cleaning,
the amount of $300.00. Price increases in paper products and janitorial
supplies are hard to cope with. This request for $300.00 will pull the
department through the remainder of the year. Budget for 1975 - $6,000.00.
TO: Account 372.0, Supplies, Zoo Feed, the sum of $1,500.00.
Inflation has hit this account just like one is faced with higher prices
at the local supermarkets. To adequately maintain a balanced diet for
the zoo inhabitants, this request is an absolute necessity. Budget for
1975 - $26,000.00.
TO: Account 430.0, Materials, Repair Parts, the amount of
$2,000.00. To keep all equipment in top- operating condition takes
quite a few repair parts. Price increases on virtually all parts have
wiped out our budget to say the least. Budget for 1975 - $14,000.00.
TO: Account 440.0, Materials, Other Materials, the amount of
$3,000.00. This is the "catch all" account and was underbudgeted for
1975. Material usage and price increases are hard to live by. Budget
for 1975 - $26,000.00.
TO: Account 510.0, Current Charges, Insurance, the amount of
$4,311.00. A shortage has developed because of a general rate increase
after the budget was submitted for Council approval. Budget for
1975 - $26,000.00.
