Parks & Recreation Department - Administration

Budget

The Department of Parks and Recreation Department finances its activities in three ways: the Capital Improvement Budget, the Operating Budget, and the Enterprise Fund. Capital financing is used for land acquisition, construction of parks and recreational facilities, and major renovation or repair of other city facilities. Funds are appropriated through the City's five year Capital Improvement Budget.

An annual operating budget, approved and appropriated through the City's General Fund, provides for general operations of the Department.

In 1977, the Department began the Enterprise Fund which encompasses fees and charges that support programs such as leisure skill classes, adult sports, and special events and activities. The Fund provides for the purchase of capital equipment and the expansion and development of new programs.
