County Executive’s Budget Proposal Highlights

No requested budget cuts in the proposed FY 2017 budget.
Several Park Authority projects are proposed to have increased funding:
- Parks – Ground Maintenance increased by $212,924 to $1,000,000 - fund annual requirements at non-revenue supported parks.
- An increase of $1,000,000 to $2,250,000 for the turf field replacement program based on a recommendation user fee increase for Athletic Service Fee.
- $2,370,000 is included for the continuation of the Park Authority ADA improvements. Funding for Laurel Hill increased by $80,265 to $400,000 to support critical maintenance activities and support staff.
- The Park Authority is anticipating $1,675,328 in FY 2016 in new Capital Fund support from the County Sinking Fund. The transfer to the Park Authority from the county is expected in late April. This funding shows how important and how valuable Parks are to the county and to the Board of Supervisors and will help us reinvest in our facilities.
