The Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board received an operations and finance update on Aug. 1 from the controller, who reported operating fund revenues ahead of expenditures by about $728,000, leaving an operating balance of about $5.6 million.
The controller also reviewed other fund balances: a food and beverage fund with a roughly $4.0 million balance, S&R funds with about $754,000 (year-to-date increase of $191,000), and park fee fund balance at about $1.5 million (up $239,000 for the year). The controller said summer spending patterns typically draw down program balances and that the department will meet to develop a 5–10 year capital plan after budget season.
Board members acknowledged the report and staff said a draft budget will be provided to the board for review at the next meeting.
