Comm. Pres. Comm. 06_17_2021 -final-approved Marino understands that neighborhood groups privately fundraising to support the upgrade of
equipment in neighborhood parks are each required to contribute $15,000.00. She is
concerned that this may be a difficult hill to climb for some neighborhood groups. McCrory
suggests that the public fundraiser group meet with the Recreation Department if they are
finding it difficult to meet the goal of$15,000.00. Richter states that some groups have
returned to the CPC for additional funding if they cannot raise their projected funds. Marino
asks Deschamps about the MOU approval process. Deschamps explains that the first few
pages of the MOU are specific to individual projects and the remainder of the document is
largely boilerplate. After Deschamps completes a draft she sends it to the applicant for their
review. Once they are comfortable with the content it is reviewed by several municipal
department heads including the Director of Planning, the Purchasing Agent, the City Solicitor's
Office and the City Treasurer. Ultimately, it is signed by the applicant, the City Treasurer and
the Mayor.
