Butler City Council had budgeted about $15,000 to fund summer park programming, but that money may go unused because of a last-minute change.

The city donated about $8,000 to the Grace Youth and Family Foundation last year to run a park program at Rotary Park, Institute Hill Playground and Father Marinaro Park, which included meals for the children. The closing of the foundation in May, after charges were filed against its founder, Bill Halle, put an end to that partnership, however.

Butler City Councilman Dan Herr, who is the director of parks, recreation and public property, said it was not feasible to find and fund a replacement organization between the closing of the foundation and the start of summer programming.
