She stated the money requested was not from property tax; but from user fees, which by their nature hold no cash reserves. Due to the seasonal nature of many Park activities it was essential these capital improvements be started now. The amount, just over $518,000, comes from five separate funds. Betsy Harriman and Susan O'Connor from the Parks presented some detail about the proposed expenditures and answered specific Council questions. On a motion by Councilmember AI "Buddy" Kirsits, and a second by Councilmember Oliver Davis, supported by all, the bill was sent to Council favorably. There being no further business to come before the committee, Chairperson Puzzello adjourned the meeting at 3:30 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Ann Puzzello, Chairperson PARC Committee
