CITY OF CLEARWATER
PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD MINUTES
October 26, 1981
J/
.....-.---
The regular meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board was held at
the department offices, 10 South Missouri Avenue on Monday, October 26,
1981. Members present were: Jack Gilmore. Denis Fitzpatrick, Ginger
McQuigg. Diann Schultz, Ed. Steiner and Charles Wood. Unable to attend
were: Graydon Howe, Marguerite Krame and Peg Rogers. Also in attendance
was Art Kader.
Diann Schultz made a motion to appoint Ed. Steiner chairman for the
meeting due to the fact that both the Chairman Graydon Howe and Vice-Chair-
person Peg Rogers were absent. Motion carried and Mr. Steiner chaired the
meeting. Mr. Wood made a motion to approve the board minutes of September
28, 1981. Mr. Fitzpatrick seconded the motion, which passed.
Mr. Steiner conducted the election of officers for the next year.
All members with the exception of Jack Gilmore were eligible to be an
officer for the next year. Mr. Gilmore's second term expires February 28, 1982.
Diann Schultz nominated Ginger Mcquigg for chairman and Jack Gilmore
nominated Graydon Howe for chairman. A motion was made by Diann Schultz to
close the nominations, seconded and passed. A secret ballot was taken on these
cwo nominations with the results being three (3) for Graydon Howe, three (3)
for Ginger Mcquigg. The board decided to try and break the tie with a
second balloting. however the results remained the same, 3 for Mr. Howe and
3 for Mrs. Mcquigg. After some discussion Mrs. Schultz made the motion tbat
,the'two nom~ees, Mrs. Mcquigg and Mr. Howe should serve as co-chairpersons
for a term of one year and that each would serve as chairperson on alter-
nating months beginning with Mrs. Mcquigg at this, the October meeting.
Motion seconded by Mr. Wood aud passed. It was felt that the co-cbairman
arrangement would give the Board more flexibility and would aliow for
better. representation on important issues. At this point, Mrs. Mcquigg
'took charge of the meeting and turned it over to Mr. Kader for the follow-
,ing reports.
Alligator Creek Application - Mr. Kader gave a brief background into
the A1ligator.-Creek Drainage Project between the City and the Southwest
Florida Water Management District. He indicated tbat part of the agreement
bebween the City and SWIFTMUD was the development of a passive recreation
area which includes 6 docks~ boat launching facilities, parking, picnic
areas, bicycle paths, nature trails and canoe trails. The City has already
budgeted $55,000 toward the project whose total cost is estimated to be
$165,000. Mr. Kader revi~ed a site plan of the Alligator Creek area
(located south of MOCcasin Lake Park) and discussed in detail an application
which has been made to the State of Florida Department of Natural Resources
for financial assistance on the project($llO,OOO) under a grant program
,known as the Florida Developmental Recreation,Assistance Program. Several
of the board members had ~estions about the project and the prospect of
, receiving the grant from the State. Mr. Kader informed members if we
were unsuccessful at receiving the grant then the City woulcl still have to
proceed with the project and seek funds from other sources due to the prior
agreement with SWIFTMUD~

Bandshell - Mr~ Kader informed members that private individuals have
contr~buted $13.000 t~ardB building a bandshel1 at Coachman Park. He
reminded'membe~s that a bandshell was proposed in the 1981/82 C.I.P. budget
but that it had been cut. There has been much interest from the private
segment and in specifically the Downtown Development Board to proceed with
the development of a bandshel1. A committee was formed to look into the
issue of the bandshell at Coachman Park. This committee consisted of
Mr. R. Wilson, Sam Casala. D.D.B., Chris Papandress. Planning; Patti Stough.
Building Department; Allen Edelman. Parks & Recreation Department. They
are recommending that a bandshell competition be held to get a design and
architect for the bandshell. The City would hold the competition and be
responsible for securing a judging panel for the entries. Mr. Kader
mentioned that a representative from the Parks & Recreation Board may be
asked to serve on the panel of judges. Mr. Wood felt that this was a
vital issue and affected many persons and that there should definitely
be rep~esentation from the Board. Other Board members agreed. Mr. Kader
informed Board members that they would be apprised of any further develop-
ments and'that he would notify them when a selection of a Board member
was required.
Moccasin Lake Park - Considerable construction is taking place at
Moccasin Lake Park project on the boardwalks, restroom buildings and
shelter. The parking lot has been completed. Construction is beginning,
on certain elements of the Energy Center Grant including windmill and
water towers. Mr. Kader reported that there has been some problems with
v~nda1ism. Increased patrols of the park ,and security lights has been
iristalled in order to combat the vandalism. In addition, the Parks and
,Recreation Department is attempting to install a fence at the most
,vulnerable areas of the park..
Board members commented on how they wanted to inspect the park and
they liked the idea of a family day at the park. It was suggested by
Mr. Wood that the Parks and Recreation Department set up a convenient
time in January or February for the Board members and families to take
,a'tour of the park. Mr. Kader said that could be arranged.
'Eddie C. Moore Complex - The Eddie C. Moore Complex is progressing
~ell in that the fencing and irrigation, as well as electrical wiring
and clay delivery have all been completed. Sprigging of the,Complex is
scheduled for Thursday, October 29th. Mr. Kader stated that other work,
would progress at a much slower pace since the growing of the sprigs
would take 3 to 4 months~ The parking lot bids would be opened in
November with completion set for January. Discussion followed concerning
.a dedication ceremony and the final projected date for completion. Mr.
Kader said the tenative date for completion is July of 1982. Mrs. Schultz
reminded the Board that Mr. Stavros wanted to be invited to the dedication
ceremony.
Other Reports - Mr. Kader reported that the contractor work on the
Crest Lake Restrooms would be completed by November 13th but that the
City still had some work to do on the lift station and water lines.
Mrs. Mcquigg's idea on the design of the building was implemented into
the plan and has worked out very well. She was congratulated by Mr. Kader
and other meml?ers. "

Mr. Kad~r also informed Board members that the City Commission was
investigating the possibility of selling a portion of the 320 acre site
as surplus land to Morton Plant Hospital so that medical facilities could
be built in Countryside area. A golf course could still be developed on
the remaining acreage.
Comments by Board Members - Mr. Wood. Mr. Steiner and Jack Gilmore - .
no comments.
Mr. Fitzpatrick advised members of an article which was wtitten in
the Tampa Bay magazine depicting the Clearwater downtown as a hopeless
situation. He brought it to the members attention for their possible
response~, Also, Mr. Fitzpatrick went, to the Community Chorus concert
,'. and was somewhat disturbed that the chorus members names were not put,
on the program. He felt that was very little to ask for the time they
were devoting to the Community Chorus. Mr. Kader said he would look
into' the Situation.
"
Mrs. Schultz reminded Mr. Kader that all the separate "Noll signs
and "Do ,Not" signs were still installed at McKay Field. She requested
'that one sign be installed at the entrances rather that numerous signs
for a variety of 'offenses. This was suggest at a prior meeting.
Mrs. Schultz also, commented on how well used the field had become and
that every night she sees residents using' the field.
Mrs. McQuigg inquired about an update on the hotel and also on the
"fencing of the airport, in particular, the Marymont side of the airport.
'MJ;.". Kader responded by stating that the hotel was still seeking financing
for the hotel. The fencing at the airport was done by the City per a
recommendation from, the new Airport Authority. It was done for safety
; and: 'liability reasons.

'\ There'being no ,further busines before the Board, Mr. Steiner moved
