Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Parks and Recreation Budget for the installation of playground equipment at Big Bend Park.
Body
Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget for the Parks and Recreation Department included funding for the purchase of new playground equipment for Big Bend Park. The intention was to have an experienced Parks and Recreation crew install the equipment to save on installation fees. However, due to unforeseen requirements with the concrete work, it is necessary to have the equipment installed by an experienced third-party contractor. The cost of the installation is $45,954.84. An amendment to the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Park Maintenance Budget in the amount of $46,500.00 is requested to cover the cost of the installation of the playground equipment at Big Bend Park.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Increase the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Budget for Park Maintenance by $46,500.00 (010-432-49030, Improvements Other Than Buildings) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Park Maintenance Budget.
