On Moday, April 23 @ 8:00PM the Commission will hold a Capital Investment hearing to discuss how best to allocate and spend an approximate $1.3 million undesignated or unassigned fund balance. Specifically, based upon an ordinance that was passed last year, the Commission may not use these unassigned funds for recurring operating expenses, but instead must apply them to capital improvements and an unexpected items. As you might imagine, there are about 1.3 million ideas on how best to spend this money. The Parks Advisory Board has supplied the Commissioners with a list of items totaling just over $500,000 and is intended to address the needs of most of existing parks. One of the larger items on this list as prepared by the Parks Advisory Board is the completion of the work set forth in the Parks Master Plan for Brafferton/Sunset Park. This would include field improvements as well as parking and access improvements. More information is available here. Unfortunately, this attachment does not include the updated list of items from the Parks Advisory Board which references the work at Brafferton/Sunset.
Please try to attend this important session as the Commission decides how best to spend this significant sum of money to improve our community. Improving all of our parks, as outlined in the Parks Advisory Board's proposal should be a priority.
