The Joint Committee of the Whole reviewed a request to increase the use of undesignated capital fund balance to help offset the cost of a pavilion expansion at Lions/Recknagel Park and voted to recommend the change.
Administrator materials noted a proposed increase from $9,000 to $18,000 from the undesignated capital fund balance. Alderperson Hurkman moved to recommend council approve the use of $18,000; Alderperson Schaumberg seconded. The motion carried with Alderperson Vander Heiden abstaining; the minutes do not record a roll-call tally of yes/no votes.
