Council questions whether park rollover into operating budget raised levy in error
Summary
Members said the park's budget appears to have increased from roughly $490,000 to $690,000 and expressed concern the nonreverting rollover may have unintentionally increased the county's levy, shifting costs into the general fund.
Council members pressed staff to verify whether the earlier decision to roll park nonreverting funds into the regular park budget altered levy allocations. One council member noted the park budget rose from about $490,000 to $690,000 and asked whether the corresponding revenue had been captured in the consultant report.
Paige said the report may be missing some park revenue lines and recommended reviewing page 20 of the schedules to confirm whether the park's earned revenue (about $117,932 last year) and cash balances were properly accounted for. Staff cautioned that if the park's revenue was not captured, the apparent levy increase could be an artifact of where revenues and expenses were coded rather than a true new levy obligation. The council directed staff to reconcile the park schedules and identify whether any reallocation is required before the next budget hearing.
