How~ver, during the mid-year financial reVlew, the Council agreed to defer/delete this expense from the FY 1991-92 budget due to reduced General Fund revenues. The city did, however, receive approximately ~ $21~ºOO ~ore in Park Dedication Fees from the -trighton Meadows Development than was estimated in the FY 1991-92 Budget. Should the council wish to proceed with the 90' Baseball Diamond, it is recommended that the project be financed from the Park Dedication Fund as opposed to the General Fund. DESCRIPTION Included in the Fiscal Year 91-92 Budget were funds for the construction of a 90 foot practice baseball diamond at Murray School. The project was to be constructed utilizing volunteer labor from Dublin Little League and the City was to provide the materials and project supervision. The estimated cost of the project, $19,100.00, was to be funded by the city's General Fund. At the January 13, 1992 meeting of the Dublin City Council, the council received a report which identified a potential deficit in the General Fund of $431,380. consequently the council considered a list of potential items totalling' $480,198 which could be removed (or deferred to a subsequent year) from the 1991-92 Budget in order to eliminate the potential deficit; the 90 foot baseball diamond was included on the list. Dublin Little League has subsequently submitted construction plans and a cost estimate for the 90 foot baseball diamond and has requested that the city reconsider the funding for this project. Staff has reviewed the information submitted and determined that the construction plans are adequate, however the cost estimate for the materials exceeds the original budget by approximately $3,300-$5,060. A breakdown of the cost estimate is shown on the following page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ITEM NO.&!
