Staff Reports/Updates:
Karen reported the Mayor released his proposed budget on Tuesday night. The Youth Bureau
faired very well in that he Mayor basically accepted the recommended budget that we submitted.
Two of the Capital Project requests were actually added to the budget: a mower for Cass Park to
replace the existing failing one and replacement software for our recreation registration system.
Fall programming is getting underway. No new initiatives to report.
Board membership:
Eric brought up that Stephen Smith and Mark Darling have not attended in many months. It is
especially important that we have an active Common Council rep. Stephen had mentioned that
now he has a conflict with another committee meeting. Eric will check in with both Stephen and
Mark to see if they intend to continue on the Advisory Board and report back next month.
