Boy Scout Funds - At the previous meoting, Mr. Wilson had advisod
the Board that $6,744 was available from an insurance policy on the former
noy Scout Hut to be used for a parks and recreation projoct. Members had
requested an update on the Capital Improvement Project priority list from
1981/82 which was submitted by the Board last summer. Mr. Kelder advised
the Board that the fOllowing items had been liated:
1. Eddie C. Moore Recreation Complex
2. Lights for recreation facilities at Countryside High
3. Countryside Tract 2B
4. Youth Maritime Center
5. Crost Lake Park
Jack Russell Stadium
Light Replacement
Mr. Kader discussed the progress of each of these Capital Improvement
Projects and also indicated that the Youth Maritime basketball courts are
not being done this year due to the lack of funds. He said that an idea
had been proposed to put new basketball courts on the East side of the
Youth Maritime Center and that the old basketball courts be removed and
replaced with two handball courts. Erosion of the old basketball courts
could be stopped with the planting of natural vegetation. Mrs. Schultz
and the other members Were very interested in this plan and indicated a
desire to use some of the Boy Scout money for the completion of the
basketball courts at the Youth Maritime Center.
, ;
, ,
Mrs. McQuigg also brought up the idea of using some of the funds to
develop' a "Gift Catalog" for the Parks and Recreation Department. Board
members asked about the costs of gift catalogs and also for the cost of
the basketball courts. Mr. Kader advised that he would have to do sorne
research in order to find accurate cost estimates. Therefore, the Board
wished to continue this item so that cost information could be gathered
and presented to the Board at a later meeting. Mr. Fuchs indicated that
Crest Lake Park was a focal point for the City and that many tourists, as
well, as residents, used the park. He felt that some consideration should
, be made for Crest Lake Park. Mrs. Rogers informed Mr. fuchs that the
Board had continued to support Crest Lake Park with the addition of the
new playground equipment, parcourse, and newly constructed restroom
facilities. Mr. Kader stated that the Board will have the opportunity to
suggest capital projects for the upcoming budget year and that improve-
mentsto Crest Lake Park could be included at that time-

Gift Catalogs - Art Kader explained to Board members what was
entail.ed in making up a gift catalog and showed examples of same to
members. Members were very enthusiastic about having a gift catalog,
however they felt they needed some additional infonnation concerning
examples of what other Cities had done. Mr. Kader said he had made
contact with severa1 other cities and should be receiving copies of their
gift catalogs within the next few weeks. Therefore, a decision was made
to continue this item until next month.

informed members that he was investigating the parking of a boat in tho

C01Nnents by Board Members -

Mrs. Rogers - Was concerned about the progress of the tennis
batters wall at McMullen Tennis Complex. She wanted to know the projected
date of completion. . Mr. Kader info~ed her that he would look into it
and, hopefully, tho wall could be completed by the next Board meeting.
Mrs. Rogers also said that it was very unpleasant to take children to the
Morningside tennis batters wall due to the drinking which was occurring at
the Coconuts Lounge. She felt that it was not safe to leave her children
alone in this location. Mrs. Rogers indicated that if the Coconuts
patrons were causing problems on park facilities, that possibly the Parks
and Recreation Department should become involved in efforts to remove this
business from the Morningside area.
