Park Board Resolution to Transfer Funds and Resolution of Interest
Transfer of Funds From the Park Recreation Fund to the Non-Revertin~ Capital Fund
In 1997, the department had $555,000 budgeted in the Recreation Fund 4.C. (Improvements Other Than Buildings)
for the construction of the Monon Trail. As you may recall, we did not have the project under contract and could not
encumber the money at that time. Earlier this year, we requested an additional appropriation of $555,000 from the
City Council and Township Board for the Morton Trail, in essence, re-appropriating the budgeted money. This was
approved and the $555,000 is now in the 1998 Recreation Fund budget 4.C. (Improvements Other Than Buildings).
It appears that we will not have the Monon Trail project out-to-bid and under contract by December 31, 1998. This
request to transfer the $555,000 from the 1998 Recreation Fund budget to the Non-Reverting Capital Fund budget is
in accordance with our philosophy of the Recreation Fund Budget serving as our operating budget and the Non-
Reverting Capital budget as the Capital Improvement budget.
Resolution of Interest to Purchase Property
The park board passed a resolution of interest for the Monon Trailhead North parking site at its August park board
meeting. The site is an undeveloped property of about two acres at 142"d Street and Rohrer Road adjacent to the
Monon Trail on its' west side. This resolution of interest, if approved by the City Council and Township Board,
enables us to obtain appraisals on the property and move forward to potentially purchase this property.
A representative of the park department will be present at the City Council's and the Township Board's meeting on
November 16th.
