Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance to amend the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget for the Parks and Recreation Department in the General Fund to Purchase and Install an Awning at the Dow Soccer Building.
Body
Summary:
Due to the demolition of the Community Center, certain staff has been relocated to the Dow Soccer Building. To help increase the building’s visibility and curb appeal, staff is requesting to have an awning, minor landscaping and signage installed on and around the facility. The cost of the awning as quoted by Generosity Services, Inc. will be $22,872.13. The cost for the landscaping and additional signage is estimated to cost $17,000.00.
This project was not included in the fiscal year 2023-2024 budget and therefore a budget amendment in the amount of $40,000.00 is requested. The amendment would be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, which is available for this purpose.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Add $40,000.00 to the fiscal year 2023-2024 budget for the Parks and Recreation Department in the General Fund (010-434-49020, Buildings = 23,000.00; and 010-434-44120, Grounds = $17,000.00) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance to amend the fiscal year 2023-2024 budget for the Parks and Recreation Department in the General Fund.
