6. Director reported on city council's action on the 1997-1998 operating budget and highlighted the
significant changes. "City Council accepted Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation
regarding the 4th of July. For 1998 the City Council will fully fund the 4th of July celebration. We are
adding a new clerk typist position to the Parks and Recreation Department. That position will be funded
out of our revenues from our enterprise. City Council is providing in the Five Year Capital
Improvements Program $125,000 for the design fees for the expansion of the Senior Center. In fiscal
year 1998-1999, they are funding $875,000 for the expansion itself. In the Commission's budget there
will be $10,000 for a feasibility study on the Stevens Creek Trail. Now that the proposed route has been
adopted we will hire a consultant to advise us whether or not that is a realistic route. Another new item
is that we are opening the Retreat Center at Blackberry Farm this coming year and so we have a little
under $20,000 in funding for expenditures there. We expect to generate in our first year about $25,000
in revenues."
7. The Commission selected July 10, 1997 as the date for the joint meeting with the Fine Arts
