With property tax revenues in Gainesville up a projected 9.34 percent, the city Parks and Recreation department is looking for more than $4.5 million in the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, to support ongoing programs and expansion plans. That would be a 2.67 percent increase year over year. City Manager Bryan Lackey will present his budget recommendations later this month, and public hearings before the City Council are scheduled for May and June.
