Board members received a report on expenditures for Glen Oaks
through February 17, 1978. Although greens at the course are not
good ~nd the weather has been bad this winter, receipts are
slightly above those at this time last year. Although copies
were not available for total department budget, Mr. Moore re-
ported the expenditures for the first five periods indicate
34.3% of the department budget has been expended which is well
below the normal expenditure of this period of 38.5%. However,
Board members were reminded that major expenditures for the de-
partment occur during the summer months. Motion by Mr. Stavros,
second Mrs. Grenelle, that present reports to the Board be elimi-
nated and that only those reports which provide percentages of
budget expenditures be received. However, Mr. Stavros indicated
that when information pertaining to standards and so forth to
the department are available, that these be included. Motion
carried.

. Mr. Moore reported there is some leakage .to the walls of the
building which house the filter system at Norton Park Pool. Efforts
are being made to correct this situation as well as other minor
problems existing at the pool.
The' Board was advised McMullen Park Tennis Courts have been
'completed with exception of landscaping and all 17 courts are
being utilized.

Mr. Moore reported the bikeways at Del Oro Park are nearing
,I c6mp1etion with only a small strip of approximately 10 feet re-
maining to be done at one location and a small area to be com-
pleted extending to Monterey Street. Also, the bikeway will be
extended from the present parking lot at McMullen Booth Road
extending to the storage and restroom building in the park. This
will complete the bikeways in this particular park. The plans
for extending bikeways to other parts of the City will be planned
for the near future.

The Board was advised light fixtures for Wood Valley arrived
this date and the Electrical Division will install the lights
at'their first opportunity.
Mr. Wilson reported the Clearwater Sun Tennis Tournament
was quite successful at McMullen Park during Fun 'N Sun, and
many compliments have been received from individuals partici-
pating in the tournament and visiting our facilities. Also, Mr.
Wilson reported a Special Olympics program for handicapped indi-
viduals is planned on April 15 at Clearwater High School football
stadium, and approximately 2,000 youngsters are expected to compete.
Mr. Moore reported the greens at Glen Oaks Golf Course are
in very poor condition and efforts are being made to correct this
situation. Hr. Lester McMullen has provided a recommendation to
be followed which would remedy the matter. Also, Mr. Stan Cruse,
a golf course builder, has been contacted to offer suggestions
pertaining to correcting the matter and will determine if their
organization will do the job for us at a cost to be provided the
City. After viewing the cost figures, we will determine what
measures may be taken.

The Board was advised the study of the Holt Avenue Pool
problem has been completed and recommendation has been made to
brush the sides of the pool to determine if the milkiness can
be corrected in the water in this manner. We have information
on the matter to the effect that this should be sufficient to
correct the situation at this pool for the summer.

Mr. Moore reported to the Board that their request for naming
certain facilities for deceased individuals in the City had been
sent to City Manager Anthony Shoemaker to be acted on by the
Commission. Mr. Shoemaker has requested information from one of
the associations in one area, and they apparently do not desire
to change the present name of the park. After discussion, motion
by Mr. Gilmore, second by Mr. Stavros, that the Parks and Recreation
Board table the naming of Kings Highway and Del Oro Park until the
. next meeting.
Mrs. Taube and Mr. Gilmore expressed appreciation to Mr. Wilson
for recently taking them on a tour of department facilities. Each
of them were highly pleased with department facilities that they
visited.
Mr. Gilmore inquired if the drainage problem at Norton Park
adjacent, to the swimming pool and leading to the lake could be
corrected. He was advised efforts are being made by Public
Service and Engineering to correct this situation, if possible.

modate more citizens. He indicated we should be able to provide
