iii. Another budget request is for $24K for assistance with our lunch program. We are not <br /> asking for additional help in the lunch program but we need this adjustment to get our <br /> budget in line. <br /> b. Seymour Center Outdoor Fitness Area has been removed from the CIP <br /> i. Janice asked again, if we have ARP & MAP money, could we meet them halfway, with <br /> the other half coming from any capital improvement money that was not spent. The <br /> cost for the project is $200k. This was a MAP goal, and we are disappointed. The schools <br /> need millions of dollars for renovations. <br /> ii. We will be looking to reallocate the $75k of AARP funds another way. We cannot do just <br /> part of the project because the state would not want to fund for example,just the <br /> concrete pad. <br /> 2022-27 Master Aging Plan <br /> 13.
