Dec. 15 Board Meeting: ASC and Budgets

The agenda and packet for the Glen Ellyn Park District December 15, 2009 meeting are online. This is a regular meeting where the Board will discuss the Ackerman Sports Complex Cost Analysis, approve the 2010 budget and amend the 2009 budget.

A few things to note in the packet:

• I have finally received a list of expenditures for ASC. Page 27 of our packet shows the total for these expenditures. If we just look at expenditures and don't factor in outside revenue sources, the expected final cost of ASC is at least $11.19 million.
• At the last meeting Commissioner Kinzler and I requested that staff recommend budget areas where we could reduce spending without cutting services. Page 36 of the packet shows that staff makes no recommendations for budget cuts and instead requests a 2% raise for full-time staff.
• The Board will discuss the 2009 amended budget Tuesday night. It is necessary to submit a new budget ordinance to the county because our 2009 spending has exceed the 2009 budget by $2,266,991. The packet shows the new 2009 budget on page 93, the original 2009 budget is not in the packet, but it is available online here.
