This <br /> departmental budget calls for expenditures in 1990 in the <br /> amount of $74,200. This is a $26 , 500, or an approximately <br /> 55 . 5% increase over the adopted 1989 amount . This 1990 <br /> proposal relates favorably to the 1988 actual expenses . <br /> The $26, 500 increase in 1990 over the adopted 1989 amount is <br /> located throughout the budget . $20,000 of the $26, 500 increase <br /> is identified in two different line items. Both of these <br /> expenses are directly offset by new revenues identified in the <br /> 0 revenues section of the General Fund budget. These $20,000 <br /> worth of revenues are generated by the landfill funds that are <br /> available for General Fund purposes. These two expenditures of <br /> $10,000 each are for garbage collection in all of the City <br /> parks and in the Central Business District on a year round <br /> basis and $10,000 for Capital Outlay projects that are of an <br /> unknown nature at this time. Any such improvements that are <br /> requested by the Park and Recreation Commission would have to <br /> be authorized by the City Council. The remaining increases <br /> ($6,000 ) are located throughout the budget and are associated <br /> to increasing costs of services including wages and benefits <br /> - for the employees. Ten percent of the total street crew time <br /> is associated with park maintenance. The parks budget <br /> represents approximately 3% of the total City General Fund <br /> expenditures .
