Commission OKs $21,000 annual contribution to New Recreation Commission
Summary
The commission approved a memorandum of understanding to raise the city's annual contribution to the New Recreation Commission to $21,000 (from $19,000); staff said the $2,000 increase can be accommodated within the parks general fund budget.
The Newton City Commission approved a memorandum of understanding that increases the city's annual contribution to the New Recreation Commission (NRC) to $21,000.
Staff explained the change stems from the 2004 interlocal agreement that governs funding responsibilities and that the NRC requested the increase. The city's share was budgeted at $19,000 for 2025; staff said the additional $2,000 can be absorbed within the parks general-fund allocation through internal adjustments.
Commissioners moved to approve the MOU and, after a second and brief discussion, the motion carried on a voice vote. Staff reported they had received a verbal affirmation from USD 373 and expected other partners to consider similar adjustments in their separate meetings.
