Title
A Resolution to Increase Operational Funds in Nature Parks
Summary
The Nature Parks Department would like to request a budget increase in operational funds. The previous year's fall events were very successful exceeding our event budgeted revenues. This year is expected to be even higher due to the demand and added dates. Due to the opening night of the Haunted Forest being October 5, we are having to construct all the scenes in this fiscal year. This will also allow us to have the funds to construct the summer before the event from here on out. One of the major additions is the Koniar Landing which will be a permanent educational area on the boardwalk with scenes for the holiday events. The gas and oil is over budget due to additional maintenance operations with multiple properties. We are requesting a total budget increase of $15,000 with $6000 in Building and Grounds Maintenance, $5000 in Event Operations and $4000 in Gas and Oil.
