Manager Ralph Richard noted that the 1994 revenue budget is $12, 647, 000, an
increase of 4 0 over the proposed budget for 1993. Of this total, $5, 238, 071 will come
from fees and charges, and the balance of $7,408,929 will come from the millage and
interest on investments.
The proposed operating budget is $9, 682, 238, an increase of 2.3 0 over the 1993
proposed budget.
The remaining balance of the revenues, after the $9, 682, 238 for operations, is for
new operating equipment and capital development. The amount of $797,525, of which
approximately $413,825 is budgeted for revenue -producing items (i.e., golf carts
and boats) , is for operating equipment. Estimated new funds for capital development
for 1994 is $2, 611, 375 .
Manager Richard also noted that the Planning and Building Committee reviewed the
resolution the Parks Commission recently approved regarding accepting the
responsibility of the Springfield Oaks YAC from the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners. The Committee will be recommending adoption by the Board of
Commissioners with the proviso for a set rate, for 4-H only, of $7.50 per hour for
the use of the small room for the first year; cost will increase at the rate of inflation
for the succeeding four years.

Also, Chief of Administration Frank Trionfi noted that the Oakland County
Treasurer's office has notified staff that the department will now be paying services
charges for our banking, approximately $12, 000 annually; interest received from
new interest -bearing accounts will cover that fee. A new line item account will be
created in the budget for this charge.
No questions were asked; therefore, the Public Hearing was declared closed at 9:15
