Title
AMENDING THE 2018 PARKS AND TRAILS LEVY BUDGET
Background
The City Council had previously approved the 2018 Parks and Trails Levy Budget back in February of this year. The Miracle League Association had informed Parks staff that is would like to help fund more of the improvements to the Blaine Baseball Complex Miracle League Field as well as the Playground. Staff has moved both the BBC Playground project to 2019 as well as all of the work for the Miracle League Fields will also be taking place in 2019 so staff carried over $25,000 from 2018 to the 2019 budget. The plan for the Miracle League Field is to replace with an all turf surface instead of the original plan of repairing the original surface. Staff moved up the London Park Playground replacement along with the Jim Peterson Athletic Complex Tennis Court Resurfacing to 2018.
The Park Board has also recommended these changes to the budget.
Recommendation
By motion, adopt the amended 2018 Parks and Trails Levy Budget.
