Minutes 07-26-90 (2)MINUTES OF THE CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP HELD IN COMMISSION CHAMBERS, CITY HALL, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1990 AT 4:00 P.M. PRESENT Gene Moore, Mayor (Arrived late) Lee Wische, Vice Mayor Lillian Artis, Commissioner Robert Olenik, Commissioner Arline Weiner, Commissioner J. Scott Miller, City Manager Carrie Parker, Asst. City Manager Grady Swann, Finance Director Diane Reese, Asst. Finance Director Sharon Randolph, Assistant to the City Manager Vice Mayor Wische called the Budget Workshop to order at 4:10 P.M. Two Budget Workshop meetings were held earlier in the week. The Commission continued its review of individual proposed department budgets for the 90/91 fiscal year. Animal Control Page 189 Commissioner Weiner suggested revenue enhancements in Animal Control. In relation to animal "pick-ups," for first offen- ses, she suggested increasing the fee from $5 to $10. For the second offense, the fee of $10 should be raised to $25. For the third offense, the $15 fee should be raised to $40. Commissioner Weiner also suggested the current daily rate for room and board be increased from $3 to $5. She proposed that the current adoption fee of $5 be increased to $10. Bob Eichorst, Director of Public Works agreed this would be in line with what other cities are charging. The Commissioners were agreeable to this increase. Commissioner Weiner recommended a full-time employee on weekends at the shelter. Mr. Eichorst pointed out they do not really have activity on the weekends. Help Would be needed more during the week. Commissioner Weiner thought weekday help would be the City Manager's call. Commissioner Weiner suggested establishment of a "Friends of the Animal Shelter" type account to accept financial dona- tions from the public. The City Manager pointed out when monies are put in the General Fund, they are mixed with other revenues coming in. Other remarks were made about utilizing volunteers to help out at the shelter. Commissioner Weiner knew of a volunteer veterinarian who offered to innoculate the animals with donated vaccines which were slightly past their expiration dates. Remarks were offered by the Director of Risk 1 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Management relative to the liability aspects. If the City pursued this, Olivia McLean suggested they go through the RSVP program as their volunteers are insured by RSVP. Public Works - Page 193 A decrease in personnel was proposed in Public Works. The department has had a Deputy Director and an Assistant Director. The Deputy Director position has never been filled. In this budget elimination of the Deputy Director position was proposed. The positions of Public Works Director and Assistant Public Works Director were being retained. The City Manager remarked the Personnel Dept. would be undertaking a study relative to possible reclassi- fication of the current Assistant Director to the Deputy Director. After the study was complete, a recommendation would be made to the Commission. It was proposed that the vacant Programmer position be reclassified as Clerk III. Streets Page 200 The Equipment Operator II position had been vacant all year, so it was proposed that the position be eliminated entirely. Also proposed was reclassification of the Foreman II to Foreman III. Discussion took place regarding line 348.00 on page 204, Traffic/Street Signs. Mr. Miller pointed out that based on Federal and State law, any regulatory sign that was damaged or faded had to be replaced. Bob Eichorst remarked the City was replacing many of the current signs with high intensity street signs that do not fade. Vincent Finizio, Administrative Coordinator of Engineering explained when a contractor puts street lights in a public rights-of-way he is responsible to provide the actual funding in monies payable to the City. Those monies fund the electric for about four years. Recreation - Page 230 Commissioner Weiner complimented the Director of Recreation & Parks in connection with the examples of papier-mache children's art displayed in the City Hall lobby. She hoped other exhibits could be made available in the future. On page 227 it was noted an additional Recreation Supervisor was proposed. Mr. Miller pointed out the Recreation Supervisor III would only be used for one month when Hester Park opens. It was proposed that the Recreation Specialist MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 be reclassified to Recreation Supervisor I. It was also proposed that the Recreation Leader be reclassified to Recreation Specialist. Two employees will be transferred from Facilities Management and will serve as Recreation Workers. As outlined on page 228, decreases are proposed on part-time positions and Lifeguards. Hours are being cut back to 8-5 year-round at the beach. One of the Lifeguard I positions will be eliminated. Two Recreation Attendants have been eliminated due to changes that will be taking place at the Tennis Center. Discussion took place about the lights being on timers at the tennis courts at Galaxy School and the fact that this is more economical than having an employee pre- sent. Questions were raised about the way the summer camp program has been handled. It appeared the City was losing money on the program. Charles Frederick remarked the day camp program was never designed to be fully self-sustaining. The fees for residents and non-residents are being increased to try and generate more income but it still will not be totally self-sustaining. Mr. Frederick referred to a new policy for next year where residents would be allowed a month long registration period. Non-residents would be allowed to register for any slots that remain open during the final week only. Commissioner Weiner thought the summer program needed to be expanded if funds would permit and she suggested the Commission return to this topic later. Several minutes later Commissioners Weiner and Artis suggested raising the summer camp fee for non-residents to $35. Mr. Frederick thought it would pretty much be moot next year with the new registration system as he thought we will end up with very few non-residents. Commissioner Weiner thought it should still be increased to $35~ Mayor Moore arrived at the meeting at 4:40 P.M. Relative to resurfacing of the tennis court~ at Galaxy School, Commissioner Otenik asked if we could get by another year. Mr. Frederick responded we could but the further they deteriorate, the more costly it is to repair. In some areas on the courts the acrylic has peeled off completel~ which leaves the surface suseptible. Vice Mayor Wische ~idn't think it would be wise to postpone this. Relative to page 231, line 433.00, Equipment Repairs, considering the track record, Commissioner Olenik thought the $15,462 recommended was excessive. After discussion about the types of repairs this would cover, staff was instructed to trim this some. *S~ould be 35 %. See 8/7/90 minutes. 3 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Parks - Page 235 Discussion took place regarding the fact that this depart- ment has 42 people when it is fully staffed. There are currently two openings. Ms. Parker remarked the two tem- porary people are not on the list of approved positions. They are hired as temporaries, therefore they show up on the "actual" account. They are not on the accrued position list. Remarks were made about the reclassification of the Forester/Horticulturist (Kevin Hallahan) to Chief Environmentalist. It was brought out that a Landscape/Environmental Inspector (Al Capino) will also serve in the Building Dept. The City Manager explained in detail the difference in these two functions. Mr.~ Frederick pointed out Mr. Hallahan had been doing environmental work since 1986 even though it is not listed in his job descrip- tion. Mayor Moore objected to creating a new position that a current employee would be elevated into. Mr. Miller pointed out Mr. Hallahan is already performing this job. Other remarks were made about choosing the person with the best qualifications on paper for the Chief Environmentalist position. In view of the fact that Mr. Hallahan would still serve in the capacity of Horticulturist, Vice Mayor Wische stated the new title should be corrected to Chief Forester/Horticulturist/Environmentalist. Relative to line 390.12 on page 244, Clay Field Supplies, Mr. Miller stated the figure in the "90/91 Dept. Requested" column should be $5,000. One Commissioner asked what would happen if the Little League wiring system is not rewired. John Wildner, Parks Superintendent responded it is likely there will be interruptions in service during peak season when there is heavy useage. The wiring that needed to be replaced was installed in 1975. The City Manager referred to three items listed on page 246, namely, playground equipment at Galaxy Park and Pioneer Canal Park and picnic pavilions for Sara Sims Park and stated these would be funded under the CIP program. Since Commissioner Olenik was scheduled to leave the meeting early, he requested several areas be addressed prior to his leaving. The Commission was agreeable. Sanitation - Page 382 Ms. Parker went over the changes in sanitation rates. Current City annual solid waste charges cover collection and 4 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 disposal. The City picks the waste up and takes it to the landfill and the customer pays the bill. If the City were to take over the disposal charges the Solid Waste Authority is now charging, the City's rates would go to $237.24/yr. for a single family and $190.68 for a multi-family unit. The Solid Waste authority tipping fee is increasing from $46.50 per ton to $80.99 per ton for a single family resi- dence. Ms. Parker explained the Solid Waste Authority is removing the disposal charge from the cities and it will be billed directly on the property tax bills. Because of this, Boynton Beach's proposed rate for next year is $126 for a single family home and $96 for a multi-family unit. She explained why this is not a dollar for dollar reduction. It was explained that the Solid Waste Authority's rates are going up substantially. Ms. Parker remarked the Solid Waste Authority had used up all of its "reserve" and so instead of having a graduated rate they now have to charge the entire rate to pay off their bonds. Commissioner Olenik asked if the City should continue to show waste disposal for the City complexes in an enterprise fund. He wondered if it should be funded through the General Fund instead. Ms. Parker indicated this could be moved to the General Fund but the General Fund would then have to be charged $78,000 to pay for it. Other remarks were made. Ms. Parker highlighted specific points from the proposed sanitation budget. She pointed out last fiscal year the sanitation fund~had a deficit of $79,902. The budget for this year is anticipated to be about $210,000. "Retained Earnings" funded the deficit for the last fiscal year and the current year. A new Driver was proposed to drive the recycling truck. Also recommended was a Sanitation Supervisor to assist the Sanitation Superintendent. It was noted that the City obtained the current recycling truck in April, 1990. It presently works one day per week but this will be expanded to three days during the next several weeks. Commissioner Olenik had a problem with purchasing a second recycling truck when the first truck was not being utilized fully. He remarked about the Solid Waste Authority pilot program and felt the City should have been "up and running" the day they got the first truck. The City had not expanded the program since the Solid Waste Authority put it into place. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Otenik asked why the first truck couldn't be worked six days a week by adjusting the work shifts. Commissioner Olenik was also interested in whether the MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 recycling grant money could be used for other things in the recycling program. Craig Grabeel, Director of Management Services remarked the City's goal for the next fiscal year is to cover half the City which would require a second truck. The consensus was that this be presented to the Commission again for evaluation when the department could demonstrate the first truck to be at 90% capacity. Ms. Parker indicated they would check to see if the grant funding could be switched from capital to personnel. When the second truck is eventually purchased, Commissioner Olenik thought existing personnel should operate it. The recycling truck and Equipment Operator were both deleted. From capital equipment, the radios for the new truck will be deleted. Relative to the change in billing, Ms. Parker stated the City met with the Solid Waste Authority, checked the list of billings and made corrections. The material was pretty accurate. The question was raised as to when Data Processing needed the rates. Ms. Parker responded they would like to give them 30 days notice, if possible. The big problem will be on the containerized pick-ups. Commissioner Olenik thought the containerized should be "what industry is getting for it out there." Ms. Parker responded they did not set the rates that way. The rates were set on a cost basis and she explained. She stated they could revise this based on perhaps a private industry average. Commissioner Olenik stated he didn't want to sub-~ sidize residential from commercial. In the free market system, if the City can get more for 'that, then he felt the City should. Ms. Parker stated a comparison could be pre- pared to determine the differential. Mayor Moore stated he had previously recommended rear-view mirrors on the back of the garbage trucks. Bob Eichorst remarked the suggestion had been implemented on half of the trucks already. As far as the other half o~ the fleet, they are trying to find a place to mount the mirrors because ~hey keep getting broke when the men are working. The Mayor recommended one man look back when the other worker is dumping the load. With regard to the proposed sanitation rates (page 392), Ms. Parker pointed out the current rates have a 10% differential between multi-family and single family. We are going to a 25% differential. The rate increase for the single family will, therefore, not be as much as the multi-family. Vehicle Service - Page 394 Sharon Randolph, Assistant to the City Manager explained they were currently missing two Mechanic IIs and one 6 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Mechanic I. With regard to revenues, it was pointed out that we are not yet at the point where replacement monies are in this fund. Ms. Randolph stated we're hoping to build to that point. We have increased this year what is being collected from the different departments. Depreciation costs are not included and the fleet is aging faster than it is being replaced. Relative to vehicle service costs, the City Manager was asked to provide the Commission with numbers on what percen- tage pertains to variable costs vs. fixed costs. Mr. Miller responded when you take the true cost of a four-door vehicle you're talking about $5,000 to break everything down such as direct labor, insurance costs, replacement costs, etc. Mr. Miller believed Carel Fisher had already done this and that was why they arrived at such high operation, maintenance and renewal costs. He stated we couldn't afford to keep this "rental car agency" moving, so we cut back. We are covering our operational costs and hope in several years to also cover our replacement costs. In connection with pages 403 through 405, Ms. Randolph remarked the Recycling Truck had been deleted and as pre- viously indicated, the Fire Dept.'s Ward LaFrance Pumper had been added back on. Commissioner Olenik asked that the vehicle numbers of the eight replaced Police Cruisers be provided the Commission. Commissioner Olenik observed there was an error in mileage noted for vehicle 319 as the documentation showed it had 485,000 miles on it. Warehouse Page 406 There were no questions raised relative to the Warehouse. Community Improvement/CRA Fund - Page 417 Ms. Parker explained the Community Improvement Fund had undergone a major restructuring in accounting. The current year budgeted only $518,000 and this will be increased in the coming year to over $1,000,000. The City had funded Community Improvement $350,000 since its inception. Because Of the slow start-up, the expenditures side didn't catch up with the revenue side. A certain amount had been authorized for each program out of the subsequent budget years. Johnnetta Broomfield had basically been running a program budget, utilizing previous years' funds because they weren't expended. This year the entire fund balance had been rolled into the budget. There was no fund balance at this point. It would be allocated out to the programs based on previous Commission direction. Staff felt this restructuring would prove to be less confusing. MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Commissioner Olenik referred to page 417, line 891.10 Fund Balance Appropriatio% which represented monies left over from previous years. He asked how it was determined whether that money was for CRA or for Community Improvement. Ms. Parker responded it was in the budget under specific programs. The fund balance in CRA was the tax money that was not expended. Commissioner Olenik suggested making two separate lines for Fund Balance. He thought the Commission would like to understand what money is left in the downtown area for TIF vs. what is left for community programs. Ms. Parker indicated two lines could be provided and the numbers could be broken out. Relative to page 421, it was pointed out the Development Officer is a new position which will be split in half bet- ween CRA and Community Improvement. Remarks were made about personnel in this department working on both CRA and Community Improvement projects. It was pointed out there is one revenue fund with two expenditure accounts. In connection with page 428, it was noted there have been three contract employees which did not show up on the Personnel sheet as full-time employees. A little money has been put into Professional Services so Ms. Broomfield can contract with an Architect and Marketing Coordinator on an as needed basis. The Development Officer is a new position which will be split in half between the CRA and Community Improvement. Vice Mayor Wische questioned the interrelation of figures on page 418, labeled Operating Expenses. Ms. Parker explained some of the programs will be geared up more bet- ween now and the end of the year. Mr. Miller added we are going through the appraisal and appraisal review processes right now. Those processes should be complete by the end of this fiscal year. Remarks were made about the City loaning the CRA about $158,000 towards Boynton Beach Blvd. Vice Mayor Wische referred to those funds and asked if that money should be transferred into the General Fund. Ms. Parker remarked that was part of the fund balance that is being moved forward. Mayor Moore thought the plan should be "junked" and the funds taken back into the General Fund. The City Manager made available written material which showed the advances made in 1983, 1984 and 19881 If any portion of the $158,000 is paid back into the General Fund, we would be taking away from certain projects. Commissioner Olenik referred to page 424, line 630.14 Improvements-Streets and asked how we could pay for the Federal Hwy. medians out of CRA funds when the medians are 8 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 not in the TIF location. Ms. Broomfield replied they are located in the CBD going towards the Canal. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Olenik thought this point should be checked out. He pointed out if the City plans to do future Federal Hwy. medians, they cannot be done from the CRA. The City Manager stated that was correct. Mr. Miller noted anything additional would come out of the General Fund. That was why we haven't put any grant in for this year. Other remarks were made about $20,000 in additional monies budgeted for next year for Federal Hwy. in the CBD. Ms. Broomfield made remarks about line 630.14 and monies budgeted for Boynton Beach Blvd. medians, sidewalks and landscaping improvements which probably would not begin before the end of the fiscal year. An RFP would be going out to see what work a contractor will be able to handle outside of what the City will be handling. Ms. Parker pointed out if this money has been encumbered by the end of the year, it will be rolled over into the additional fund appropriation for next year. Other remarks were made about page 431, line 499.02, Housing Program-Infill Construction. It was pointed out this account has been carried forward from previous years. Nothing has been spent out of this line item. Discussion took place as to whether or not the $219,676 recommended for 90/91 included the $57,676 remaining from the 89/90 current budget. Ms. Broomfield thought the $57,676 was included in the figure. Ms. Parker didn't think it was included in the $219,676. The Mayor didn't think it made sense to keep appropriating money, if its not being spent. Discussion took place relative to the way this department functions. Commissioner Weiner didn't know how they could function without regular permanent employees. Mayor Moore thought they should get to the point. He had been through the entire budget and he was satisfied the entire budget had been cut to the bone. The Commission was present to set a maximum millage. He believed this budget had about a 1.1 mill increase. The City Manager indicated that was correct. It was noted that Commissioner Olenik was going to be leaving the meeting shortly and the Mayor wanted him to take part in the decision. The Mayor proposed dove- tailing in the $800,000 from the Tradewinds settlement. He also proposed they defer any additional millage for capital improvements for the next year. He thought the money should be "kicked back out" from the CRA. The Mayor then wanted the tax increase to be figured. Discussion took place about the "not to exceed" millage rate which needed to be set at this meeting. Commissioner Weiner 9 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 and Commissioner 01enik indicated there were some things they thought could be eliminated from the proposed budget. It was mentioned that there would be two Public Hearings. Remarks were made about the $2,000,000 for CIP. Arbitrage was discussed. Mayor Moore asked if the City could take income from the Capital Improvement Fund that was derived from the sale of bonds and dove-tail it back into the General Fund. Grady Swann responded negatively and stated anything that was from a bond issue would have to go towards the bond issue. Commissioner Olenik recommended the ½ mill dedicated for CIPs be reduced to ~ mill and thereby save $400,000. Commissioner Olenik didn't want to set a "not to exceed" millage until the numbers had been worked out. The Mayor suggested going with the 1.1 mill increase at this point. Commissioner Weiner thought things were suddenly becoming rushed. She requested this proceed in an orderly fashion. City Manager Miller pointed out that for the last several years the City had been funding a ½ mill for the CIP programs. That had brought in $882,541. That was the figure used as anticipated revenue for 90/91 when the "wish list" for the CIP program was prepared several months back. He explained $900,000 had been appropriated for arbitrage. The City had since received a final computation on what the City owes by November, 1991 and the arbitrage came to about $490,000. Mr. Miller pointed out that without jeopardizing the CIP program now, they could take the CIP from } mill to ~ mill and the figure would be $441,270. Commissioner Olenik remarked another option would be to take the CIP down to zero this year and still be able to fund $450,000 of it because money is left in the arbitrage. Grady Swann inter- jected there is an item in the Bond Covenant which indicates those monies can be designated for other CIP uses, as the Commission sees fit. Remarks were made regarding the $800,000 Tradewinds insurance money and various opinions were offered regarding use for that money. Discussion took place on whether to drop ½ or ~ mill. Mr. Miller pointed out if they take the ½ mill and take the CIP down to zero, they will not have an expansion to the Community Center. Several Commissioners thought dropping } mill would be the best choice. Mayor Moore thought it was ridiculous to say for political reasons the millage will be knocked down ~ or } mill. He thought they needed to address the issue of how to use the Tradewinds money. That would reduce the deficit. He thought some Commissioners were "ducking" the issue. Remarks were made about the Commission rushing to make this decision before Commissioner Olenik left the meeting. Some disagreeable remarks were exchanged between the Mayor and Commissioner Weiner. 10 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Commissioner Olenik remarked he was comfortable dropping ~ mill. Without knowing the specific numbers on how the pro- posed cuts would affect the millage, he thought the Commission might want to wait. Commissioner Weiner recom- mended a workshop meeting. The Mayor asked the City Manager what the Commission needed to accomplish this evening. Mr. Miller referred to Resolution 90-WWWW and stated on the last page, in the far right column, the millage rate was indicated as 8.2519. Since ¼ is to be knocked off the CIP, the total operating millage would be 8.0019. Mr. Miller pointed out the first Public Hearing was to be set for Wednesday, September 5, 1990 at 6:00 P.M. Following the Public Hearing, the regu- larly scheduled Commission meeting could take place. This Budget Workshop meeting recessed at 6:25 P.M. A brief Special City Commission meeting followed to formally adopt Resolution 90-W-WWW. The Budget Workshop reconvened at 6:35 P.M. Mayor Moore and Commissioner Olenik left Commission Chambers at 6:35 P.M. Water and Sewer - Beginning on Page 273 Carrie Parker explained this budget includes dollars to fund the Capital Improvement program. Plans for the upcoming year include $6,500,000 for the East Water Treatment Plant, $20,000,000 for the West Water Treatment Plant, $1,800,000 for the Wastewater Collection System and $7,500,000 for Odor Abatement. The City is planning to go out for a bond issue for the $20,000,000 West Water Treatment Plant and the $7,500,000 Odor Abatement. Remarks were made about the Rate Study growth rates. Revenues as outlined on page 273 were explained. Ms. Parker pointed out we are projected to have a slight deficit at the end of this year. The reason for this is primarily because the water conservation effort is working. When water con- servation kicks in, water sales are down and therefore reve- nues are down but expenses continue. On page 275, line 433.10, Water Sales and line 435.10, Sewer Service were examined and Ms. Parker explained where the rate increase kicks in. The revenues shown in the 90/91 column are based on the Rate Study that was done and the total revenues. Whether the City goes with Rate Structure B or the Inverted Rate still had not been decided. The Commission will need to decide that at a later point. A new revenue item was referred to on page 276, line 819.91. Ms. Parker stated this was the transfer in from the Impact 11 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Fee Fund and this would assist in paying off the debt ser- vice. In connection with line 819.92, it was noted that this year we're funding depreciation on a cash basis in this fund. Instead of using excessive revenues over expenditures to do that, a transfer had been moved in from General Reserve and at the end of the year the excess would be a "flow-through" for the depreciation offset. The summary on page 279 was examined. Most of the operating Divisions are experiencing a slight decrease this year and significant numbers of personnel are not being added. Page 381, addressing debt service, shows the debt service is increasing with the new bond rate. A Renewal and Replacement Fund in the amount of $882,700/year is being added as a result of the bond issue. This budget without the debt service would be $15,000,000 as compared to the $19,000,000. Also included in the Utilities budget is the Engineering Dept. which is a Utilities division. Golf Course - Page 441 The City did not increase any fees or charges this year at the Golf Course. The Golf Course is basically self sustaining. Publicity Fund - Page 248 Commissioner Weiner pointed out the City Manager had asked everyone to help out this budget year. She recommended the Chamber of Commerce also be asked to "put something into the pot." The consensus was to bring this recommendation up again when the full Commission is present. It was recom- mended that current funding of $16,500 be decreased to $10,000. Local Option Gas Tax - Page 252 This is the revenue the City receives from the County for the 6¢ Local Option Gas Tax. $550,000 had been transferred into the General Fund to pay for general street repairs. We are putting in $200,000 for the Street Resurfacing Program and $25,000 for drainage improvements. Also allocated is $25,000 for traffic and street signs. In view of the earlier discussion on traffic and street signs in Public Works, Ms. Parker remarked they could either cut this out or cut this down. 12 MINUTES - CITY COMMISSION BUDGET WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JULY 26, 1990 Capital Improvement Projects - Page 436 This topic was discussed earlier in the meeting. The chart on page 436 was briefly referred to. At the top of the chart is a list of Commission approved projects. At the bottom of the page are projects not approved by the Commission. Commissioner Weiner referred to the proposed playground equipment for Pioneer Canal Park and Galaxy Park. Ms. Parker noted those items were included under Recreation with a note that it was suggested these be funded out of the CIP budget. There is no money in the Recreation budget for these items. The money shows up here. Commissioner Weiner thought those items should definitely be funded. Commissioner Weiner recommended a workshop to go over all the recommendations.
