Budget Overview- 12:53 pm 
Matt provided an overview of the department's 2025–2026 budget, highlighting various categories and 
noting how rising costs have impacted many line items, including chemical supplies and maintenance. 
He explained that staff currently manage and pay for these recurring needs, some of which could be 
reduced or eliminated if turf infields are installed before the 2026 season. The Board was invited to 
share comments and questions. Linda suggested updating all parks simultaneously to avoid leaving any 
behind in the rotation. Matt responded by outlining the budgetary limitations and practical 
considerations that make it unfeasible to fund and upgrade all 10 parks at once.
