16.           CARBON COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION

                Carbon County Recreation Department is requesting an additional $2100.00(10%) to the previously budgeted $21,000.00. The item has been brought before the City Council on a previous date but only as a public input item and not as a formal item for motion. If the motion were to be made tonight for the appropriation of the $2100.00, it would then have to come from the Budget Revision in January MOTION. A favorable motion was made by Councilmember McEvoy to approve the 10% increase for Carbon County Recreation. Councilmember Tatton seconded the motion recognizing that it is not budgeted item. An agreement could not be made for reasons of the following votes.

 

                Councilmember Hanna-Smith- Naye                                 Councilmember Davis-Naye

                Councilmember McEvoy-Aye                                                           Councilmember Tatton-Aye

 

                Therefore, because it would be an increase to our budget and a decision could not be made by Council with the information given, Mayor Piccolo would like sufficient information collected and returned to the City Council and presented by Councilmember McEvoy for another request.
