Other Business:
Discussion on reporting of park programs – Chairman Morton requested this discussion to ensure that the City wasn’t exposing itself to any additional risks should programs such as KIXX and STYXX be strictly pass-through programs. Andrew Dallner, Parks and Rec explained that these programs were City programs and that the city had over-sight of these programs. He explained that all programs cover direct costs. Chairman Morton felt that since these were City programs, there was not additional risk. After additional discussion, Chairman Morton asked that at the next Finance and Administration the profit and loss statements for the major park programs be included in the agenda packet. Director of Finance stated that she will work with parks to provide such reports.
