History The 2014 budgets were adopted on December 9, 2013. Since the budget approval, Parks project timelines have been revised due to seasonal fluctuations. Current Circumstances Capital Park Fund Budget Two studies were approved in 2013: 1) Park Dedication Fee Evaluation and 2) Trail and Sidewalk Study. Work on both studies commenced in 2013 and will be completed in 2014. The total requested amendment for the Capital park Fund budget is $20,436. 2014 Work Budget Amount Completed Amend- 2014 Budget Item Authorized in 2013 ment Budget 2014 Pike Lake Master Plan $ 50,000 $ 0 $ 0 $ 50,000 2014 Park Improvements (Rice 120,000 0 0 120,000 Lake) Park Dedication Fee Evaluation 15,755 1,294 14,461 14,461 and Update (Res#13-151) Trail and Sidewalk Study (Res#13- 15,000 9,025 5,975 5,975 149) Total $200,755 $ 10,319 $ 20,436 $ 190,436 General Fund Parks Budget The costs for various budget items are summarized below. Staff is requesting the 2014 budget be amended to address two items. The first is the carry forward for three parks projects that were initiated in 2013 but were not completed due to sea- sonal changes. These projects include Enclave Park, Lakefront Storage Building, and our trail and sidewalk work. The second item is the addition of work associated with the SMSC Donation for construction of a segment of trail along CR21. The to- tal requested amendment for the General Fund Parks budget is $82,519. A budget amendment was approved in February, 2014 to account for the Pike Lake Park Trail grant received from the SMSC. The total 2014 amended budget for park and trail improvements will be $343,519.

Conclusion The Council should consider amending the budgets in order to reflect expenditures authorized in 2013 that will be completed in 2014. ISSUES: The parks staff typically completes project work in starting late summer through the fall as summer work (turf maintenance, landscaping, etc.) slows thus maximizing staff resources. As the seasons change and field conditions do not allow further progress, work is postponed to the following year. In 2013 there were three pro- jects that require additional work in 2014, Enclave Park, Lakefront Storage Building, and Trail Maintenance. In addition, the City received funds from the SMSC to com- plete a section of trail along CR21. Work was initiated in 2013, however due to the early winter conditions, staff was not able to complete the bituminous work. This work will be completed as traffic conditions allow on CR21 (pending lifted road clo- sures). FINANCIAL To accurately reflect expenditures on the quarterly financial reports, the budget IMPACT: should be amended in the amount of$20,436 and $82,519 for the Capital Park Fund and General Fund Parks Department, respectively. Funding that was availa- ble but unused in 2013 for these projects was carried forward as part of the re- serves for each of these Funds. For the Lakefront Storage Building, contributions from the project partners are intended to offset city costs and will be deposited into the General Fund revenue account. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and second as part of the consent agenda to approve a resolution ap- proving an amendment to the 2014 Capital Park Fund and General Fund Parks Department budgets. 2 2.
