APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT ORDINANCE IN THE
AMOUNT OF $14,000 TO INCREASE REVENUES AND
EXPENDITURES WITHIN THE RECREATION, OPEN SPACE AND
SCIENCES DIVISION OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES
DEPARTMENT FOR RECREATION AND SCIENCES PROGRAMS
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that Council approve a Budget Amendment Ordinance (BAO) to
increase revenues and expenditures by $14,000 for the Recreation, Open Space, and
Sciences Division of the Community Services Department, due to the receipt of donations
that are designated for specific recreation and science programs.
DISCUSSION
The Recreation, Open Space and Sciences Division of the. Community Services Department
regularly solicits donations and sponsorships to offset the cost of conducting new programs
and operation of existing programs. Two unexpected donations were received, which
allowed the Division to provide programs that would not otherwise be funded. The Rotary
Club of Palo Alto donated an additional $4,000 toward Camp Ventura, a summer day camp
program geared toward disadvantaged youth in the Ventura neighborhood. The Friends of
the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo donated $10,000 in order to conduct additional
science outreach programs within elementary schools.
These funds were accepted in accordance with the City’s Gift Policy. In order for these
funds to be used as designated, the money must be appropriated as an additional revenue
and expenditure.
RESOURCE IMPACT
The attached BAO has no impact on the Budget Stabilization Reserve and no future year
General Fund ongoing costs are anticipated. Both revenues and expenditures are requested
to be increased in equal amounts.
