At its October 21, 2014 meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved as part of Budget <br />Amendment #2 -B the re- purposing of FY 2013 -14 appropriated Sportsplex funds for <br />improved ice skate compatible flooring and restroom partitions. Since these funds, <br />totaling $225,000, were originally budgeted in FY 2013 -14 within the annual Sportsplex <br />Enterprise Fund, but were not expensed or encumbered, the Board needs to approve the <br />re- budgeting of these funds for use in FY 2014 -15 through a fund balance appropriation <br />from the Sportsplex Enterprise Fund. <br />Also, as part of the FY 2013 -14 approved Capital Investment Plan, $100,000 was <br />originally budgeted in FY 2013 -14 within the annual Sportsplex Enterprise Fund for the <br />replacement of the Zamboni ice resurface machine at the ice rink, but was not expensed <br />or encumbered.

This technical budget amendment provides for an appropriation of $325,000 from <br />the Sportsplex Enterprise Fund for the re- budgeting of the above mentioned items in FY <br />2014 -15.
