Committee forwards transfer of $1,400 and $11,000+ in Simon Recreation donations to county board
Summary
The committee approved moving two related items to the county board: a transfer of $1,400 from the donations fund to the general fund for swim passes/lessons, and acceptance of roughly $11,000 in donations from the Simon Foundation covering pool equipment and related items.
The committee approved forwarding two items related to Simon Recreation to the full county board: a $1,400 transfer from the donations fund to the general fund to account for discounted swim passes and reduced-price lessons, and a set of donations from the Simon Foundation totaling just over $11,000 for equipment and program costs.
Staff said the $1,400 transfer reflects reduced or prepaid swim passes and lessons issued in 2024 and recommended moving those donated funds from Fund 137 (donations) into the general fund (Fund 136). The committee also reviewed an item listing specific donations by the Simon Foundation in 2024 — including kettlebell racks, pool equipment such as noodles, tables and chairs for the pool atrium, lifeguard certification fees, a cordless backpack and shower seats — totaling about $11,000. Staff said the foundation has pledged an additional $50,000 in donations for 2025.
Committee members voted to forward both the transfer and the donation acceptance to the county board for final approval.
