Nursery Superintendent Bill Voght discussed Crest Lake
beautification plans. Mr. Voght indicated Phase I of the de-
velopment ~ould consist of installation of a deep well and
irrigation, addition of 4,000 yards of top soil, and place-
"ment of picnic tables and grills. Mr. Voght stated the Lane
Ma~shall Landscape ~lan would be follewed as closely as possible,
and berm would ~e'const~ucted nlong Gulf-To-Bay Boulevard as well
as other areas of the ,Park. After discussion, Board members'
e~pressed gratification that some plans are now being made, to
landscape Crest Lake Park. Mr. Stavros indicated we should make
pl~ns ,for parking. However, after further discussion, it was
generally agreed by the Board that after landscaping sections of
th'e Park had been completed, parking would inevitably follow.
The number,o,f, spaces would be determined at that time. A motion
',was made by Mrs. Taube, seconded by Mr. Price, that the Parks and
Recreation,Board recommends the Nursery Division proceed with
landsca~e plans for. Crest Lake as indicated in Step I of the pro-
je~t. Motion carried.
Board members received copies of departmental budget,through
February,18, 1977. Mr. Moore advised the Board that the fiscal
year would be divided into 13 periods this year instead of the
normal 12 month period." Also, Mr. Hoore indicated the budget ~x-
penditu~ethrough the first five months was in accordance with
the'expected expenses.
Activ~ty~eports were presented to Board members.
lhe ~oard was advised the Jack Russell Stadium roof has been
completed approximately four-fifths of the constructiont and addi-
tional roofing is needed to complete the job. Upon receipt of this
~aterial, the roof will be completed.
Board members were presented copies of the Glen Oaks Golf

for construction of two tennis CO\lrts, concrete multi-purpose nrcn,
and parking lot for Woodgnte Park. It has been necessary to trans-
[cr funds from the dcep and shallow well capital imporvemcnts pro-
gram to Woodgnte PArk in order to complete the approved projects.
Sufficient Cunds are available in the well installations to ade-
quately fund nIl of our projects for this year.

The Board ~ns advised a bicycle-ped~strjan concrete sidewalk
is now being pl~nned for McMullen Park. Entrance to the Park will
be made at the north end of Flushing Avenue and extended through
City right-of-way into the Park and skirting the perimeter of the
wooded area extending to the parking lot south of the clubhouse.
Hopefully, this bicycle trail will be completed before the end of
the summer. '
Mr. Moore reported that Ron Garl bad presented the plan of
the proposed golf course to members of the City staff. The staff
highly complimented the presentation, and several members indicated
:;':~)(0', it~as the finest feasibility report on any subject that had ever
