Re: Changes in Community Center Budget request
� 1 . . . � . � . .
At our last special budget meeting on August 30, 1993, I had e�pressed the difficulty I was
experiencing balancing the 1994 Community Center budget. At this meeting, Steve Jilk & I
� expressed the need for the Communiry Center Department to administer indoor recreation
� programming for the City thus allowing funds in the amouet of $70,000 to be transferred to
the Community Center for services rendered. We also suggested that in addition to the
$70,000 program transfer, a $26,000 subsidy was needed to balance the 1994 Community
Center budget. This request was looked upon favorably by the City Council at this meeting.
Since the time of the last budget meeting two situations have changed:
L It was originally planned that the Community Center Department would
administer cleaning and maintenance of the entire facility and be compensated
by the National Guard for services rendered. The National Guazd has since
then expressed that they prefer to clean and maintai.n their portion. This
change has a net effect of$12,188 of additional funds needed to balance '
because the Community Center Department would have otherwise passed this
amount of expense onto the National Guard for administrative and supervisory
services.
2 Steve Jilk had directed to me that $15,000 of Ringette Tournament support
was planned to be transferred to the Community Center budget for ice time
and staff time. Since then I have learned that this was not the onginal intent
of the City Council. ,
At our next budget meeting on November 8, 1993 I will be requesting a total of$53,188
($26,000 + $12,188 + $15,000) of subsidy in hopes of balancing the budget'for 1994, and
an amount of$70,000 in return for administering indoor recreational programming for the
City.
