Commission expressed an interest in the exchange but
requested justification and suggested a proposal be presented
at the next meeting, December 21t 1978.
Recreational Complex Site (Work Session Only)
Commission is being asked to consider acquisition of un-
developed tracts of land totaling 50.24 acres for use as a
recreational complex to include a four fields softball complext
nature parkt swimming pool and four soccer fields at McMullen-
Booth Road and Drew Street extended.
One tract is located at the northwest corner of McMullen-
Booth and Drew and contains 37.83 acres. The property owners
have indicated the property could be acquired on reasonable
terms. Adjacent and to the south of this property is a 12.41-
acre tract which is also available for purchase. There are
several options available. Discussion ensued on the use of the
property and the placement of various components.
Assistant City Manager Mike Paroby will bring back a
proposal. He presented pictorial ,renderings of the recreational
complex.
Land Acquisition for Housing for the Elderly
Staff recommends reallocation of $200,000 of Third Year
Community Development Block Grant funds from land acquisition
for housing for the elderly, to other program activities.
These funds were allocated in 1977 to acquire a suitable site
for construction of a housing project similar to Barbee Towers.
An evaluation of three parcels of property had been requested
by the Commission, but a recent communication 'from HUD states
there is currently no allocation of funds for elderly conven-
tional public housing units in C~earwater.
As additional funds are needea in the Housing Rehabilitation
Program staff recommends the funds would be Jllorq li!ffectively utilized
if they were reallocated to other program activ1t~es. Future
CDBG funds could be allocated for land acquisition.
Commission discussed a project cost of $60,OOO,to repair
a leak in the roof at Barbee Towers and suggested a public
hearing be set for the second meeting in January, 1979.
Commissioner Tenney suggested buying an existing apart-
ment complex for use of the elderly.
Proposed Improvements to the South Beach Pavilion
Howard Hamilton, lessee of the South Beach Pavilion, had
presented a proposal for improvements to the building. He
proposed improvements to the restrooms, additional storage
areas for City beach-cleaning equipmentt install lockers to
provide a checking service, expand the food service and sales
areast and to expand the veranda to provide additional covered
area for the public during heavy rains and to provide a viewing
area for the wheelchair-bound. The lessee would make the improve-
ments and recover the cost on an annual basis over a ten-year
period by deducting $7tSOO per year from the rental fee due the
City.
The current lease expires in June, 1979t and does not con-
tain an option-to-renew clause.
The City has the option of undertaking the improvements
itself, by a reallocation of funds in the Capital Improvements
Budget or by obtaining a bank loan. However, the lessee is
willing to make the improvements with no charge for interest
on the use of his money.
