Commissioner Bates moved that the recommendation of the City Manager relative to the swimming pool fund being used for the purchase of USO equipment which is as follows: be approved: MEMO TO BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS SUBJECT: SWIMMING POOL FUND AUGUST 5, 1946 In setting up the Budget for 1946, $5000 was set up to provide funds to operate the swimming pools. Since this operation will not take place during the calendar year and since only a few hundred dollars of the $5000 have been spent, it is recommended that the purchase of the U.S.O, equipment and the purchase of the Federal Works equipment be charged against this fund. Also, that a portion of the purchase of equipment be charged against the existing Lion's Club Magician proceeds which were donated for recreation equipment, and also against the trust fund which holds the balance of $637.64 left over from our Lee's Canyon operation. We have spent in the neighborhood of $2000 in the maintenance of Ball Parks, which is not otherwise provided for in the budget and it is suggested that we be allowed to make this allocation against this swimming pool fund. If the above arrangement is satisfactory to the Commissioners, the writer will inform the Lions Club, by letter, that the proceeds of their show have been used to purchase recreation equipment in the U.S.O. building. This arrangement will make it unnecessary to "dip" into our Land Acquisition account, for the purchase of Federal Works equipment in the U.S.O. building. This is desirable since there is just barely enough in the Land Acquisition Account to cover this purchase and there might be other demands on the Land Acquisition Account for money during the balance of the calendar year. Respectfully submitted, s/ T. E. Fennessy______ City Manager
