Committee tables $7,000 ADA ramp request and $5,000 donation appropriation pending account reconciliation

The committee considered two parks‑related appropriations: $7,000 from the Parks & Rec CIP account for an ADA ramp replacement at Gales Ferry Community Center, and a $5,000 appropriation of a donation toward the Lantern Hill Valley Park pavilion. Public works and parks staff said the ramp had been removed and work is ready to proceed if funding is authorized.

Finance staff told the committee that the Parks & Rec CIP account currently shows more appropriations than available cash and that a reconciliation is required before any appropriations can be approved. Members agreed to table both motions until staff complete the account reconciliation; the chair indicated a special finance meeting might be called if needed to expedite restoring ADA access.
