2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriation in the
Special Trust Fund in the amount of $15,000.00 for park improvements at Trinity Park.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M &C) is to accept a donation from Mayfest, Inc.,
for general improvements within Trinity Park.
Since 1973, the City has allowed a portion of Trinity Park to be used for an annual event for the enjoyment
of the public. This event has become known as Mayfest. Beginning in 1994, the City and Mayfest, Inc.,
entered into a License Agreement governing the use of Trinity Park for the Mayfest event.
In July 2011, the Parks and Community Services Department (PACS) applied for a grant from Mayfest,
Inc., for general improvements within Trinity Park. In August 2011, Staff was notified that PACS is a grant
recipient in the amount of $15,000.00. The grant will provide funding for painting and electrical
improvements to the Trinity Art Pavilion (Shelter No. 3) and the purchase of high volume solar powered
trash compactor receptacles, which will reduce necessary resources for collection. It is anticipated that all
funds from the grant will be expended by April 1, 2012.
On September 28, 2011, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board endorsed acceptance of the
grant.
Trinity Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9 and serves the entire City.

and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current budget as
