Motion carried on roll call vote , Councilman Weymouth being noted absent . REPORT OF BID OPENING , Peninsula Parkway Landscaping-Section 2 , Marlin Sub- division No . 2 ( GID 1-64) . Councilman Norris reported that in a recent Homeowners ' Association meet- ing , concern was expressed about the Dolphin Parks , and that in the order of priorities , they deserved greater attention than this project for land- scaping . He noted that he had submitted a memorandum to Council this evening concerning the matter . He questioned whether part of the funds could be transferred to complete the Dolphin Parks . City Manager indicated that it was his understanding both of the projects were pre- existing , planned projects , built into the bond issue previously sold . Both were therefore equal commitments for the District to complete , but the difference was that the project before Council was to be done completely with District funds , while Dolphin Park was to be paid partially with participation funds from Leslie Properties . He noted that the plans and specifications had been prepared , but that Leslie Properties then in- formed the City they were not going to participate . In the ensuing discussion , it was thought that the questions being raised by the Homeowners ' Association should be directed to Mobil Estates as present owners of the property . In response to comments by Councilman Norris , City Manager advised that while funds were available for both projects , the Dolphin Parks project lacked the $26 , 000 in participation funds . In response to additional questions , City Attorney advised that there were strict limitations on how the moneys in the various funds are spent , and cannot be traded off between the various accounts , such as using Street Funds for Park Funds .
