The Federal Government has provided general revenue sharing funds to

Bend Common Council has conducted town forum meetings in all of the councilmanic districts
of the City to obtain information and recommendations from the citizens in regard to the
programs and priorities which should benefit from these funds. Detailed investigations
and consultations have been conducted by all the councilmen, the Mayor and all cabinet
departments in regard to all of the recommendations made before, during, and after these
town hall meetings. This particular ordinance appropriates funds received from the
Federal Government for the years 1972 and 1973. No appropriations are included in this
ordinance which involves federal money for 1974. This appropriation is intended as an
authorization to the Public Works Department to commit and spend the full amount of this

in the area of parks and recreation in the Public Works Department which programs
collectively totalled the figure of $393,983.00. This ordinance limits the total
expenditure by the Public Works Department to the $393,983.00 amount. Budget line items
have been established by the various environmental and capital improvement programs in
the area of parks and recreation to be undertaken by the Department of Public Works with
the money appropriated under this ordinance. If adjustments need to be made to transfer
funding from one program budget to another program budget within the total ordinance
appropriation, such budget adjustments must receive approval of the Common Council.
