Budget Amendment - Recreation A budget amendment was requested to appropriate an additional $15,123.00 to the Parks and Recreation Department to meet the 50 percent funding commitment by the County for FY 1993-94. The number of youth athletic teams increased by 115 to approximately 600 teams during FY 1993-94. This unexpected increase created a shortfall in funding, thus requiring an additional appropriation or a reduction in teams.
