Park board bars withdrawals and deposits to non-reverting fund pending approval
Summary
The park board approved a resolution stopping spending from—and transfers into—the non-reverting fund until the board explicitly authorizes such moves, citing concerns about double-counting of revenue between funds.
The City Park Board voted to halt spending from and deposits into its non-reverting fund until the board explicitly approves any transfers. The motion, moved and seconded during the meeting, passed by voice vote.
Board members raised concerns that rental revenue and some Bob Rogers program receipts have been showing up in multiple accounts, which one member described as "double counting." A board member asked that rental income be funneled consistently to the general fund or to a designated project fund to avoid inflating the bottom line.
Board members discussed enforcement and next steps. A member asked how the measure would be enforced; the president said staff (Kirsty) had been instructed to await direction from the board before moving funds. Members agreed the resolution empowers the board to require prior approval for any movement into or out of the non-reverting account.
The vote was taken by voice; members answered "Aye." The board instructed staff to apply the restriction and to report back with recommended procedures and any necessary bookkeeping clarifications at the next meeting.
