Recreation <br />The recreation division is broken into three budgets: administration, programs, and <br />concessions. Recreation revenues offset approximately 25 percent of the costs of the <br />recreation budget. The recreation program budget has been adjusted this year to account for <br />both the revenue and expense of the state series mountain bike race at Hillside Park that was <br />previously not included in the budget. That is part of the reason the overall budget has <br />increased slightly both on the revenue and expenditure side with race revenues exceeding the <br />cost by a small amount. <br />Ice Arena <br />The Ice Arena Commission reviewed the proposed budget at the Commission meeting <br />earlier this month. Each year the Commission discusses the ice rental rates and makes a <br />recommendation to the Council on the proposed rates for the upcoming year. Following <br />discussion, the Commission voted to recommend to the Council that the ice rental rates <br />remain unchanged for 2011. Council member Gumphrey is on the Commission and can <br />provide additional information at the work session on the Commission's decision. The <br />transfer from the General fund to the Ice Arena is proposed to increase $46,150 in 2011. <br />Pinewood <br />The Pinewood budget that is attached includes the purchase of a mower. Since <br />development of the draft budget it has been determined that the mower need will be met by <br />the transfer of a mower from another department. That will decrease the budgeted transfer <br />from the General fund. With that reduction, the 2011 transfer is proposed to be higher than <br />the 2010 transfer. <br />
