SUBJECT:
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Park Dedication
Fees Fund in the Amount of$199,888.00 from Available Funds and Authorize Transfer from the Park
Dedication Fees Fund to the General Fund to Offset Operation and Oversight Costs of Neighborhood and
Community Park Dedication Policy (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Park Dedication Fees Fund in the amount of$199,888.00 from available funds; and
2. Authorize the transfer in the amount of$199,888.00 from the Park Dedication Fees Fund to the General
Fund to offset operation and oversight costs associated with management of the Neighborhood and
Community Park Dedication Policy.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the transfer of funds from the Park
Dedication Fees Fund to the General Fund to offset the costs related to the management of the
Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy (Policy). The revenue included in this M&C from the
Park Dedication Fees Fund was included in the Fiscal Year 2018 appropriation ordinance that was
adopted by the City Council on September 26, 2017.
The Policy ensures the provision of adequate park and recreational areas with needed facilities in the form
of neighborhood and community parks to serve population increases resulting from the addition of new
residential units in the City. Park development fees that are paid by the developer in lieu of making land
dedications are placed in an interest bearing account and are used to achieve the Policy's objectives.
Beginning with the Fiscal Year 2010 adopted budget, costs for program oversight and operation were
eliminated from the General Fund. Correspondingly, these costs were identified for payment from interest
income earned on the policy fees collected. Expenses associated with the operation and management of
the program include salary and benefits of the Park and Recreation Department employees that
administer the program.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, available funds within the Parks Dedication Fee Fund will be transferred
