In accordance with the Broward County Administrative Code, Section 22.24, a semiannual financial summary shall be prepared and filed with the Board of County Commissioners for the Park, Open Space and Recreational Trust Fund.

The funds were transferred to the General Capital Outlay Fund and allocated $20,600 for Vista View Splash Pads; $21,600 for Boater’s Park Parking Lot; and $37,000 for Shooster Preserve Improvements. Use of the funds for these projects is a permissible use of the trust funds, as these projects were needed to accommodate additional patrons in the park, consistent with park impact fee requirements.
