From City Park Board - to -wit: October 15, 1964
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City of Port Townsend
Gentlemen:
By resolution of Oct. 7, 1964 the City Park Board petitions the City Council for the privile
of transferring $400.00 from '',7ages supplemental caretaker help to capital outlay.
This portion of the $750.00 budgeted for 1964 is still available as the caretaker has carries
out the labor burden almost singlehanded since supplemental help has not been readily avail-
able or dependable.
The purpose of this transfer is to procure better labor saving equipment. This includes a
reol type popover lawn movrer designed to operate over uneven ground and to cut a 30-Inch swat
and a powor leaf and grass sweeper.
Having obligated loss funds than budgeted for the chain link fencing installed in 1964 and
by purchasing shrubbery at wholesale, our capital outlay balance together with this transfer
of funds will permit the purchase in 1964 of the two pieces of needed equipment.
We earnestly petition for this privilege.
City Park Board
Arthur S. Einarsen
Chairman
