PURPOSE: The purpose of this request is to affirm Commission support for continuing this service as being subsidized by less than nine percent (9%) or approximately $8,000.00 for another year trusting the amount of this support will decrease in a reasonably progressive manner. CONSIDERA TIONS: . The service is well appreciated by the public to the point a major user group requested the concession be open for simply their fall league registration day. . It is believed that a private contractor could not provide the same quantity and quality of service as is now the "norm" and keep prices and hours of service at such a level and also make a profit. · It is proposed that this quality of service is so valuable the small subsidy is justified. . Records for the Spring 1997 season show significant increases in income over the similar 1996 Spring season. . The closing of the miniature golf course should save nearly half the current deficit immediately. FUNDING: Details of this budget are included in the current Department Budget Request.
