Final budget review
Chris, Bill and Talyse attended the Executive Committee Budget Review meeting on July 15tH
Budget Review and Nancy had provided summary pages of the Budget for the Board to do a
final review of it. The Mayor's guidelines asked for a -2 %, and with the salary increases it is
equal to a -4 %. The IYB will strongly recommend the "recommended column" when they meet
with the Mayor. Because of this there had to be a title change in recreation, not filling current
vacancy in the PSMP, but this is still a priority to fill, a staff reassignment in the Outing
Program, RSS Staff reduction of hours and BBBS eliminating their affiliation fee with National
BBBS program. The IYB Budget is due on August 1, 2013 and a Budget Memo will go with it.
Liz will make sure the Board gets a copy of the Memo via email. Chris Milner made a motion in
support of the "recommended line" of the budget, George McGonical 2nd the motion and all were
in favor of the recommended budget line.
Capital Projects were submitted and Cass Park has several for 2014 including: repairs to gutters
around the pool; pool filter; new tractor; Phase II of the rink renovations, tennis court
repairs /resurfacing and the possibility of building a new pavilion at Cass Park behind the pool for
rental to the public. One Capital Project for the IYB is the replacement of one of the vans and
new recreation software to replace the current system.
Friends of the IYB are getting organized to start a fundraising campaign for Cass Park.
Chris Milner has taken over duties of Chair, Shannon Terry for the remainder of the year. Jody
