Council considers $82,000 parks appropriation to replace two trucks; staff says fund has capacity and one vehicle may be reimbursed
Summary
City controller asked the council to approve a second‑reading appropriation of $82,000 from the Park Operating Fund to buy two new trucks for Parks and Recreation; staff said the fund has adequate resources and the Parks Foundation is expected to reimburse one vehicle.
City Controller Jeremy Deel presented the second reading of Ordinance 20 25‑12, an appropriation request for $82,000 from the Park Operating Fund to enable the Parks Department to acquire two replacement trucks. Deel said the department identified vehicles with irreparable issues and the requested appropriation is for capital asset expenditure to acquire two new trucks. “Respectfully ask that you approve this additional appropriation request for $82,000,” Deel said.
Deel told the council the Park Operating Fund has adequate resources for the purchase and staff expect reimbursement from the Parks Foundation for one of the vehicles, which will lessen the net impact on the fund. The Parks Board met on April 21 and recommended the appropriation.
Outcome: The ordinance was presented on second reading and the council proceeded with the item during the meeting; a roll call on the ordinance was called in the transcript but the immediate vote result for this item is not recorded in the excerpt provided.
