63. SOUVENIR FUND INCREASE REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE Pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17106(B), approve the transfer of revenue and expenditure authority decreasing Non-Departmental (470) Non-Departmental General Grants Fund (249) Operating (0000) and increasing Parks and Recreation Department (300) Souvenir Fund (239) Operating (0000) in the amount of $60,000. The expenditure is not from the General Fund. It is anticipated that this adjustment will improve revenues to the Park Enhancement Fund to maintain service levels to the public. This adjustment will result in a countywide net impact of zero. A.R.S. 11-941.B and D provide that a county, through its Board of Supervisors, may establish a county parks publication and souvenir revolving fund consisting of monies received from the sales of county parks oriented services, souvenirs, sundry items or informational publications that are uniquely prepared for use in county parks by the public. During the past three fiscal years, the Parks and Recreation Department showed tremendous success in its ability to generate revenue through this fund. The department has encouraged this program and demand is increasing. Due to this increase in demand, Parks is requiring a larger inventory for the summer months at Lake Pleasant Regional Park. The FY 2008-2009 revenue and expenditure projections exceed the budget by $60,000. (C-30-09-024-2-00)
