Maple Grove park board receives 2025 budget reconciliation showing small general fund deficit, strong program revenues
Summary
The Maple Grove Parks and Recreation Board received the 2025 budget reconciliation and annual report on May 21, showing a $22,840 general fund deficit but an overall park fund balance of $1,003,580 and strong program revenues that offset much of the shortfall.
The Maple Grove Parks and Recreation Board on May 21 received the 2025 budget reconciliation and annual report after a presentation from Director Chuck Stifter. The report showed a general fund allocation deficit of $22,840 after preliminary reconciliation by the Finance Department, while recreation fee-based programs produced a surplus of $122,706. The Park and Recreation fund balance was reported at $1,003,580.
Stifter told the board the Community Center achieved a 77.9% cost recovery rate before the budgeted year-end transfer, and the Sports Dome recovered more than 100% of its operating expenditures. He described the annual report as a comprehensive review of department data, metrics and services provided in 2025 and recommended the board receive the reconciliation and report.
Vice Chair John Ferm moved to receive the 2025 Parks and Recreation budget reconciliation and annual report; Board Member Judy Hanson seconded the motion. The board approved the motion on a voice vote with five ayes and no nays.
Why it matters: The figures give the board and public a snapshot of program performance and overall fund health as staff move into 2026 budgeting and project planning. The board did not take additional budget action at the meeting.
