Please see separate spread sheet. The gap has been closed through innovations in equipment, management, volunteerism, partnerships, grant funding, and fee increases, but it is not enough. Parks and Recreation is a core service and should have dedicated and sustainable funding. If general fund revenue is unable to keep pace with rising costs, then policy makers should seek other sustainable revenue sources. The option of reducing services is not a viable solution for the community. 3 4 5 6 7 Parks Improvement Parks Projects Funded by the Jefferson County Capital Improvement Fund* Total =$323,500 Note that the Memorial Field Grant Match of $148,200 is also shown in the RCO Funded Projects table above* 8 Quilcene water supply Quilcene Water Supply 9 Parks Maintenance and OPerations Memorial Field and HJ Carroll operating at Capacity 10 11 12 13 MAintenance Turf Tank 14 Parks maintenance and operations Spate of vandalism and dumping 15 Recreation 16 17 18
