Title
A Resolution to Increase Funds in Nature Parks Department Operating Account
Summary
The Nature Parks Department has timber declared surplus from Graham Creek Nature Preserve. The sales of the timber generated $32,680.60 in revenue to sale of assets. The operation created some unavoidable damage to the disc golf course pads, some debris to be removed and invasive plants to be treated. We are requesting to increase the budget to Nature Parks Operating Account by $20,000 to cover those costs.
